Dr Nolen was a beloved and esteemed member of the Department of Economics at University of Essex for over a decade. He joined Essex in 2006 and immediately became an invaluable part of every aspect of the Department's life. He was an outstanding and sought-after educator, an extremely driven and high-achieving researcher, and an inspirational and exemplar leader. He played a key role in the development of EssexLab and became its Director recently. To his colleagues, Patrick was a sparkling presence and much like a family member. He was generous, funny, lively, and very much loved. He is greatly missed.

Patrick was a great friend. He was kind, and interested in people, and treated everyone the same. When I first met Patrick at a dinner soon after I joined Essex in 2011 I'll never forget thinking, who is this guy? He was giving a colleague a hard time about something and had everyone laughing, and it wasn't long before I realized this was the biggest compliment he could give you--to give you a hard time about something. He always loved to chat and catch up, and talk about books we were reading, even from hundreds of miles away and years after I left Essex. He cared deeply about all his friends who are too numerous to count, and we will miss him so much.
