It is with great sadness we have learned of John's passing. To quote the Provost of Ulster University (Professor Cathy Gormley-Heenan), where John had been a Visiting Professor, In many respects John set the standard that many local economists have tried to emulate. He combined his strong intellect with an ability to convey complex messages in a manner the wider public understood and appreciated. He was also not afraid to speak truth to power, an attribute for which he had the respect of many'.

John was a man of honour and integrity who will be greatly missed. He will remain long in the thoughts of
those who knew him.
