"Dr Ron Weir: Statement from the University of York

It is with great sadness that the University announces the death of Dr Ron Weir, Provost of Derwent College and Senior Lecturer in Economic History. He died suddenly on Saturday 14 March.

Ron Weir joined the University in 1970 and had been Provost of Derwent since 1982.

Ron was an expert in Scottish and Irish Economic History, business history and the history of the whisky industry.

Dr Jane Grenville, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Students said, "This is appalling news and our thoughts are with Ron's family. Ron was a well-known and longstanding member of the University. Students and staff will be shocked and saddened, as will generations of York students who remember him with great affection. Ron was a towering figure in the University in every sense - we will all miss him very much."

Professor Peter Simmons, Head of the Department of Economics and Related Studies, "Everyone in the Department is deeply distressed by the news, and we will treasure the memory of his wit and wisdom over the years."

PVC Jane Grenville, Derwent's Vice-Provost Dr Rob Aitken, and Langwith Provost Dr John Issitt are the points of contact for students and staff in Derwent College.

An obituary will appear in the University Magazine and Grapevine shortly, and details of the funeral will be announced when they are known.
