I first met Patrick when I was starting graduate school at Cornell, where he was already a student and president of the economics department's student group. He was kind, helpful, and generous and made my move from India much much easier with all of his help and support. He was great fun as a fellow grad student and president and I still can remember all of the crazy ideas we had and things we did back as students with his initiative which made our lives at Cornell memorable. As a colleague at Essex, he was the same, there are so many ways he made the department a great place to be in. I miss him.
