Dennis Christoff I will definitely miss this special man! He believed in me and supported me and my student research in psychology for several years. Bernie assisted me in applying for and obtaining approval for presentation at the National Psychological Association Annual Convention in Toronto, Canada and again in Los Angeles, California. We had many, many good times together that will be life long memories. I am also very honored to have known and spent time with his family. To his family I express my deepest sympathy and to Bernie I thank you for being such a wonderful part of my life!
