Jože Mencinger je bil človek z veliko začetnico: preudaren, spoštljiv, prijazen. Kot javni intelektualec se je v javnosti oglašal s trdnimi in jasnimi stališči; znal je povedati bobu bob na natančen, toda spravljiv način, vedno usmerjen v stvar, ne v osebo. Njegova stališča so bila strokovno neoporečna in do kraja poštena. Strokovni ali politični oportunizem mu je bil tuj in nesprejemljiv. Pogrešali bomo njegovo tehtno besedo, njegovo blago ironijo, njegovo trdnost, pokončnost in poštenost.

Jože Mencinger was a man with a capital letter: prudent, respectful, kind. As a public intellectual, he presented himself in public with firm and clear positions; he could tell the truth as it is in a precise but conciliatory way, always focused on the matter, not the person. His views were professionally impeccable and entirely honest. Professional or political opportunism was foreign and unacceptable to him. We will miss his weighty words, his gentle irony, his firmness, uprightness and honesty.
