We are deeply saddened to write this assertion for the former Editor-in-Chief of Advances in Decision Sciences (ADS), our colleague and friend, Michael McAleer, who passed away on July 8, 2021. His absence in academia will be sorely missed by several researchers around the world who had been receiving guidance and valuable suggestions from him on time-to-time basis.

His efforts on behalf of this journal, or his contagious joie de vivre. He’s going to be sorely missed. In the end of this editorial, his short biography has been included along with several assertions from co-authors, colleagues, and friends of Michael McAleer.
