Thoughts
I was sad to learn of the death of Patrick Hanks. Though I did not know him personally very well, I was impressed by his deep knowledge of linguistic and lexicographic theory and by his extensive knowledge of the craft of dictionary-making; a very powerful combination indeed!

Deeply saddened by this news. My husband, Prasannanshu, also knew Patrick and had met him on one of his assignments to the UK. We both often talked of how the Coronovirus grounded him so suddenly:( In his last innings though he was instrumental in connecting us with the wonderful DAFN team and the much acclaimed dictionary!

I am so sad to hear this news! Patrick was such a nice person in my memory even though we just communicated with each other by email. He gave me tremendous mental support many years ago when I was through a tough time in my life. I will miss him so much forever! May he rest in peace.
