I met John in 1982 at Silwood when I was a postdoc doing ecological theory and he was mostly out in the real world doing ecology in practice (a path I later tried to follow). We never worked together but occasionally got to chat when out running in Windsor Great Park. Actually, he did the talking; I had to concentrate on breathing. He was in a different, far superior, league of fitness. I'm sorry to hear this very sad news. My condolences to his family and friends.
