I am very touched by Nick's passing. I spent numerous lunches and dinners talking with him over matters of interest to both of us at Wolfson College. I remember him especially for his great curiosity (and humility): despite his advanced age, he was attending nearly every conference on nearly every subject in Oxford. His grand-son was attending the same school as my son, and we often saw Nick coming to pick him up - he loved his family tenderly.

So sorry to hear of Nick’s passing. Came to know him well when I was a visiting fellow at Wolfson many years ago.
