Patrick had a presence in the department that transcended it beyond a workplace. I remember clearly how candidly and comfortably we talked about our personal lives the first time we hung out. I also had the pleasure of adopting two modules that he used to teach. I pestered him constantly for help. Eventually, he started pre-empting my inquiries. I found myself needing to read our last exchanges and saw this emblematic message he sent before I had even asked for help: “feel free to email me or send me a message on WhatsApp and I’ll help you out… unless you want to ask for someone else; if you do, don’t worry, I won’t be offended!” Sending my best wishes to his friends and family.
