The IPPP mourns the sudden loss of Graham Ross. Graham was an exceptional scientist of international renown and a kingpin of theoretical physics in the UK. He was well known for his outstanding intellect and brilliant ideas, and was a beacon to many in the community. Those of us lucky enough to have interacted with him will be able to recall moments of forensic examination (and occasional complete deconstruction) of ideas, as well as a his playful sense of humour, which often left a lasting impression: that this was the way physics should be done. Over the years he became a long-time friend and supporter of IPPP and frequent visitor. He will be sorely missed.
