## Resource

Don Egginton, who passed away at 92, was more than just a revered professor of accounting and former head of Bristol University’s economics department—he was a lifelong artist whose work spans five decades and graces the university walls. Surviving the Blitz and losing his father in WWII, he rose through grit and intellect to become a LSE graduate and later a pillar of academia. But his legacy thrives beyond the lecture hall: a Samaritan pioneer, Liberal Party activist, council candidate, and founder of Bristol’s thriving community garden and rewilding projects. His art, exhibited in galleries and celebrated in a recent retrospective, mirrors his soul—intelligent, compassionate, and deeply rooted in community. Remembered for his kindness, he leaves behind three children and two grandchildren, a life woven with brilliance, resilience, and quiet generosity.
