I have put this off for so long because words do fail me. I first met Ross at IMP Manchester in 1995 and since then have loved seeing him at subsequent IMP Conferences. He was always insightful, intelligent and honestly just a brilliant academic. But that is not what I remember most he was an amazing family man and we every year would talk for hours about our kids, I from a distance saw Sarah and Emily grow up and he was so proud of both of them. Ross I will miss our chats each year but have such fond memories that will live on. You will be missed but not forgotten. CSB (Sydney)
