Jon was one of the main people who first made me feel that I should do a PhD - when I was a third year undergraduate and he was my lecturer and tutor for attention. I have thrown away most of my undergraduate files over the years, but one of the things I have always kept was an essay of mine he marked, because the comments on it were so incisive and yet also positive and encouraging to me.
Jon Driver died suddenly on 28th November 2011. Jon was a wonderful individual; a loving son, husband, father and brother; and an irreplaceable friend and colleague.
