I knew Keith for well over 30 years, from the time when we were both PhD students in the UK.

I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing.

He was a deep thinker and a thoroughly decent human being.

I frequently turned to him for advice and received a message from him just a week before he passed away. He will be missed.

Keith was my PhD advisor while at Cambridge. His kindness, empathy towards students and his witty remarks added colour during the course of my PhD.
