I just got an email from a good friend of mine from school with horrible news.

My thesis advisor passed away yesterday.

I had planned on going to Cleveland this week to see him one last time.

Yes, in the end we had our differences and I know I was ticked at him -- but still. I spent over a year in his office nearly every day. He, over the course of my thesis, was like a second father to me. When he retired, he pulled me into his office and started giving me box after box of books. Because I needed to start my collection off correctly for grad school (which obviously never happened).

I still remember all of our thesis meetings at the Book & Bean when we got tired of sitting in his office. Me with a mocha whatever and he with his Italian Sodas.

I just can't stop crying.

:( Me too. He was the first professor I actually met at B-W.

Also, he died from the same thing my dad had twice (and survived). :(

And the hits just keep coming...wow, Lia, I am so sorry.

You need a vacation, a nice, peaceful, retreat of a vacation.

Take care of yourself and take a deep breath.

**hugs**

*hugs* I didn't realize Dr. Hartzell's health had gotten that much worse in the last few years... he shall be missed. My phone is on if you need someone to talk to.

{{HUGS}}

I'm so sorry. I remember when one of my favorite teachers passed on, it was so shocking.

Love you sweetie... (It's Faith... in the "other" account.)

*hugs* I'm so sorry, sweetie. I can't imagine what it's like to lose a mentor, and with such bad timing as well. He sounds like he was very generous.

*hugs again*
