Patrick will, no doubt, be remembered by many for his outstanding contribution to the field of Economics. However, I will always remember him as a thoughtful colleague and friend, with a wicked sense of humour and an enormous appetite for good-natured mischief! Whether he was smuggling people into the graduation marquee, purchasing life-sized Tom Hardy cut-outs for his friends in the Dept of Economics or bemoaning his lockdown 'poodle' hair (as he called it), he was a huge source of fun and made coming to work a pleasure. I don't think he had any appreciation of just how much his friends and colleagues in the University loved him. His passing leaves a huge void, we miss him already.
