My condolences to Dr. MacAdam's family. I am very sorry to hear he has passed away. I never had him in class, but I talked with him a number of times. He was always helpful and always made an effort to encourage me. There are many others who can say the same about him. Later, after I received my graduate degree, Dr. MacAdam helped me in other ways when I was having a difficult time. I will never forget this. He was a good, decent, and honorable man. May his memory be blessed.

Dr.MacAdam was one of the people who truly believed in me at UK. He encouraged me, gave me a job, helped me to study radiation medicine, sent me to a conference not because it would benefit him but because it would benefit my future and just supported me in everything I did. He wrote me a beautiful letter of recommendation when I applied to education school. He understood that I had a lot of potential and encouraged me every step of the way. Dr.MacAdam was a mentor unlike any other. He will be missed. Rest in peace and thank you for everything.

Dr. MacAdam believed in me when no one else did at UK. He encouraged me, gave me a job when I needed it, helped me to study radiation medicine while I was figuring out what to do with my life and was a superb mentor. He wrote a wonderful letter of recommendation when I enrolled in education school to be a teacher. He saw a potential in me that few did. Rest in peace Dr. MacAdam. Thank you for making my life better.
