Tribute to Patrick Hanks, 1940 - 2024

Patrick's insight into language was a gift, and his work and legacy in lexical studies will continue to inspire others

In memory of my dear friend Judith's beloved father. May you rest in peace Patrick.

Love you and miss you, Mr Patrick! So wish you wouldn't have had to suffer as much as you did. Hope this donation helps others suffer a little less.

To the memory of a great lexicographer and linguist - and friend

From a professional and senior-junior relationship, our friendship developed into something much deeper and more intimate. I will always miss you, Patrick - you became like an older brother to me. Thanks for all the chats, about words ... and everything else ... and for the fun moments we shared! :) xx

Patrick was engaging, present, curious about things, fun to be with, interesting to work with. I miss him as a friend.

A good friend, a magnificent person . What else to be said except Thank you Patrick.
