Patrick's sudden loss has come as a shock. He was foundational to setting up humanities at Ahmedabad University.

[Ahmedabad University School of Arts and Sciences @ahmedabad]

Dear Patrick, your vision as the inaugural Dean of @ahmedabad @AhdUniv as a home for cutting-edge research, interdisciplinary thought and creative pedagogy is a legacy that will continue to guide us. Your inimitable smile, thoughtfulness and graciousness will be cherished.
