Professor Titular Patrick J. Dowling was great scientist and administration of the Civil Engineering Department of Imperial College of London University and then he contributed a great deal to the development of Surrey University. We all will miss him.

Sorry to learn of your loss, Grace and family. Patrick was my husband, Sukhen Chatterjee’s supervisor for his Doctorate at Imperial College.

Patrick was an amazing gentleman who made significant impact on the lives of so many academics that crossed his path. So grateful for the support he gave me when at Imperial College and later at Surrey. His professionalism, integrity and kindness was exemplary. He will be sorely missed.

Patrick was a great person to work for. He talked to all staff the same and made them aware that their contribution mattered. The video of him and Grace from Christmas 2019 spoke volumes. A big loss for the family but also they can be proud of his achievements.

Many fond memories of Uncle Paddy going all the way back to the Christmases spent at Tower Road as a child. More recently, he was always curious to hear about my travels, as he too had travelled extensively. It's been lovely to see all the photographs and memories shared by others here. May he rest in peace x
