Dr. Art Brecher was a wonderful, thoughtful mentor who taught students not only how to accurately and skillfully conduct research but also how to be a creative and an ethical researcher with a desire to help mankind.

He taught by example the joys of intellectual pursuits, family, and friends. Thanks to his family for sharing him with us.
