Remembering Jim Veneri

Our good friend and colleague, Jim Veneri, died this past summer after an illness of several months. He will be fondly remembered by all who had contact with him. His love of learning, especially in mathematics and physics, together with his extraordinary willingness to help anyone who wanted to learn, made him a very valuable member of the community.

No one will ever know the whole list of people he has helped in one way or another over the years he worked here.

The department chair, Dan Frohardt, kindly wrote up his remarks at the wake held for Jim. He announced there that the department intends to pursue an appropriate means to honor Jim's memory.
