Abstract

Quiet AchieverIt is always sad when we lose colleagues. But it is particularly sad when they die too young. We worked with John for many years, and he was always highly regarded as a professional in agricultural and environmental economics. He was somewhat shy and retiring, always a gentle person, quietly spoken, very thoughtful and scholarly and very caring towards his colleagues, and undergraduate and postgraduate students. Former postgraduate students have commented that John's style as a supervisor was to guide and encourage, rather than to direct. He was an absolute joy to work with.We received numerous responses from his colleagues in agricultural and environmental economics following the announcement of his death, as we expected. But it was only when we read responses from colleagues around the world in fisheries resources and economics that we realised how widespread his impact has been. John was a member of the International Institute of Fisheries Economics and Trade. Following John's death, the Institute circulated to its membership an appreciation of John's contributions and forwarded their comments to us. He was indeed a ‘Quiet Achiever’.John was born in Scotland and raised in London. He obtained a BSc in Economics and Accounting at Bristol
