Today I learned of Dr. Dunlap's passing and I was deeply saddened to hear this news. He was my husband, Bob Scott's colleague for years and I had Dr. Dunlap as a professor in graduate school. He used to scare me until I got to know him as a professional. I asked him to be one of the people present when I took my oral master's exam. He was tough, and I welcomed the challenge he presented to me. After many grueling questions, he shook my hand and said, "Mrs. Scott, you did a GREAT job!" I can still see his face smiling at me. What a wonderful opportunity I had to learn so much from a very caring man. I am sending prayers that God may richly bless Bill's family and surround each of you with comfort, peace, and love. He has taken Bill home. With deepest sympathies too all of you..

I enjoyed working with Bill as Dean. He was very supportive of my interests in international education and encouraged me to develop these contacts further. He was approachable whenever I wanted to discuss educational issues and during the time I was department chair.
I will always remember the times when Bill and Laura hosted a cookout at their home for visiting foreign students or professors.
Bill will be missed by many and I send my condolences to Laura and family.

Bill was "my Dean" when I arrived in WI.While knowing him,he became a mentor for my early years at UW-Eau Claire and it is largely through his influence that I became a department chairperson. He introduced me to international education studies and that it was OK to wear cowboy boots to any event! I will never forget him - my academic "dad." You will be missed, Bill. Heartfelt sympathies to Laura and the boys. -Sue McIntyre

I send my heartfelt sympathy to Laura and Bill's family. Bill was my supervisor in my graduate program. He was always helpful and cared a lot about education. Laura worked at Hillcrest and helped our children who were struggling. I am thinking of you Laura in your time of sorrow.

Our heartfelt sympathies go out to Laura and family. As an Assistant Dean for Education Outreach, I always had the complete support from Bill, especially at times when controversies made it difficult for him. His kind and gentle approach to leadership often served to thwart potential conflicts during the heat of the battle. I also enjoyed more than a few rounds of golf with Bill and found his dry sense of humor on the course to make those rounds even more fun. He will be missed by all who ever had any contact with him.

Bill was a gracious gentleman and dedicated professor who truly valued students. I especially treasure memories of Bill when I joined him on faculty reserach trips to Japan where he had cultivated strong collaborations with several Japanese universities. Through his countless contributions in Japan, Korea,Russia, and beyond he has left an indelible imprint on the field of international/comparative education.

I send heartfelt sympathy to Laura and other members of Bill's family as they grieve the loss of a great man who above all else loved his wife and family.

I worked with Bill for seven years and loved him. He was like a father to many of us, a protector, a friend and wonderful colleague. I remember meeting Bill when I first began teaching at the university. Bill took me aside and said that I had taken on an impossible job, way too much for one person to handle. He put his arm around me and told me that he would always watch out for me and help me get tenure. He kept his word because each year Bill made sure that I had published something, gave some presentations, served on some committees, and networked with colleagues and community members. When I submitted materials for promotion and tenure, a beautifully written and very complimentary letter from Bill Dunlap was highlighted in my portfolio. I will miss Bill but his spirit will always be with me. Because of Bill, I have reached out to many new faculty and helped them. My prayers go to Laura, Charles, Eric and grandchildren.

I met Bill as a new faculty member, new to both UW-Eau Claire and the profession. He was very kind and patient and good-natured. My sympathies go out to his family.
