He offered a great many useful comments to our discussions of the Chinese language, always seeming to find opportunity to throw in the Persian angle. He seemed a man of great knowledge, insight, and humor. My condolences to his family.<br /><br />Jeffrey J.

We never lost touch after going to Greece with David Robey in 1963.<br />Nigel was a brilliantly gifted linguist, and a very original, humorous, an entertaining companion.<br />My heart goes out to Eve, Chloe, Erik, and Daphne<br />Giles WarrackGiles Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14227061673785721046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-377103124456226005.post-15301850018556165782009-06-19T20:50:04.648+01:002009-06-19T20:50:04.648+01:00Sad indeed.

I was at school and university with him.<br /><br />I'm unable to attend his funeral, but at the behest of his daughter I have written an "in memoriam" piece, in which I concude that he was "an outstanding man".
