Just read about Dr. Schanuel's passing. Was one of the BEST mathematics professors. Enjoyed and always felt challenged in his classes.

My heartfelt condolences go out to Stephen's entire family. To Emma, I know he adored you and looked forward to your visits. Lynn, I have the best memory of your dad singing "My Girl" into our makeshift microphone, made of a shiny pencil and a glittery Christmas ornament. Prayers for you and hugs to your family during this time.
