Dennis Lindley (1923–2013)

Not to be confused with Dennis Ritchie.

Dennis Lindley was a prominent defender of Bayesian methods when it was not mainstream.

"A statistician faced with some data often embeds it in a family of possible data that is just as much a product of his fantasy as is a prior distribution". –Dennis Lindley
