I took evidence from Walter Rafalko in the fall of 1978. He was a gentleman, and an outstanding teacher and human being. As Jack Lynch noted, Dean Rafalko was a first class administrator, the likes of which legal education so rarely sees today. A devoted family man, Dean Rafalko was an inspiration to the lives of all he touched, however briefly.

I was a freshman student at New York Law the same year as Dean Rafalko's appointment. He was a good and honorable man. He truly helped change my life

Walter was the associate dean at UB law school when I first joined the faculty in 1979. He was a wonderful man with a great sense of humor and compassion. It was great seeing him at retirement functions for faculty members over the years
