The obituary notice of James Lawrence (Professor of Applied Linguistics) MILTON (Jim)

We were making a photo album and wondered about you. We were so sad to come across this notice. Jim was a lovely man and we have lovely memories of him. We are sending our love and best thoughts to you all. Ceri, Mark, Imogen, Evan and Sophia.

I was shocked, I have just been told that my External Examiner Prof. Jim Milton died, he was a mentor and a role model to me..
Words seem too small to express the sadness we feel about Jim’s death. He will be so missed.

Former PhD candidate (2012) University of Essex.

Thank you Jim for being so wonderfully kind and supportive during my first year of ELTons judging. Your warmth and generosity of knowledge made it a delight to be working alongside you and I always enjoyed our chats and correspondence. It was a privilege to benefit from your wealth of wisdom directly, after our paths had crossed many times at the ELTons over the years. I have really appreciated the inspiration, encouragement and your ever-ready sounding board about what makes effective innovation so will endeavour to carry them forward in future judging. I'm sure your loss will be felt keenly by everyone who knew and those who loved you - my sincere condolences to all.

Thank you Jim for your kindness, guidance and calmness of presence. It was a privilege to study and work with you over the years.
