I owe much of my career and the direction my life took after graduating from Essex to Patrick. Patrick was my undergrad dissertation supervisor in 2010 - he was an inspiring, patient and kind teacher who went well out of his way to help and encourage me at every turn. I was in the military at the time and could not afford to continue my studies. Nonetheless, he encouraged me to apply for a scholarship at Essex which I would never have considered if it was not for him. He helped with my application and with the process of leaving the military. Patrick’s single act of kindness has meant that over the last ten years I have worked in economics and lived a completely different life thanks to everything Patrick did. I am truly saddened to hear of his passing and that future students will not have the great fortune of having Patrick as an important influence in their lives. Thanks for everything.
