Ross was one of the most influential people in my time at Cambridge, someone of whom I was very fond and whose work I still follow over a decade later. I am deeply saddened to learn of his passing.

His dry sense of wit and humour, his uncompromising pursuit of injustice and his loathing of foolhardy decisions made by the political or moneyed elites were evident in all he did and said. Misunderstood by some, I came to respect most his tenacity; at fighting the big guy – and, more often than not, prevailing with his typical grit, logic and determination. His work continues to inspire, especially since three decades after he founded the field he would go on to be recognised for internationally, in many business and industrial circles we are still making the same basic security mistakes, driven by the same flawed economic models as Ross predicted. His work is timeless.

When he spoke, I listened, and on those rare occasions he complimented my work, I did not take that for granted. It is a regret that I did not take the opportunity to do a PhD with him. Rest in peace.

It's true that for a eulogy only positive things should be said.

It feels as though you have some unresolved issues with this person. Perhaps this comments section isn’t the best place to grind axes?
