Craig Kallendorf

blessings o peace- HAIL SINFONIA

Dr. Kallendorf was my Latin instructor in the Spring of 1990. It was one of the most enjoyable classes I´ve ever taken. Dr. Kallendorf was a wonderful professor, and I still have the Latin textbook from his course. I was thinking about Dr. Kallendorf today, and so looked him up and was very saddened to find out he passed away over two years ago. Eternal rest grant unto Craig, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.

Professor Kallendorf was always pleasant when I assisted him in the TAMU Libraries. He will be missed but we will meet again.

Dr. Kallendorf was one of my first professors at A&M and always stood out to me for his genuine kindness and encouraging spirit. He worked to know and support his students as individuals and continually sought to help us improve. I was able to grow in my own faith in Christ through his instruction, and I will forever be grateful for his encouragement as I sought to become bolder in the way I lived it out. He will be remembered and greatly missed.

I will always be grateful to Professor Craig Kallendorf for the trust he placed in me: together with his friend Professor Giancarlo Abbamonte, he inspired my work when I was a student in Naples. His works and his kindness will continue to be an inspiration for all.

So sorry for you loss. May his memories live forever in your hearts. Best, Theresa A. Morrison, HR Manager, Hub 4, Texas A&M University.

My deepest sympathies to Craig's family. I write from Canada where I am a recently retired Latin professor. I want to pay tribute to Craig's generosity as a scholar. I met Craig at conferences on classical and renaissance studies over the years and he attended a conference in Vancouver in 2012 that I organized. He gave me immense help over the years in developing my project on the translation history of his favorite poet Virgil. I always felt that this was a book he would have been better...

Professor Kallendorf's work will continue to be an inspiration for scholars and I was very lucky to collaborate with him. On this sad occasion, I would like to recall above all his supportive attitude toward young scholars, the enthusiasm he had for our studies, and, above all, his kindness, which will be deeply missed. His trust and commitment inspired my work no less than his brilliant works.

Dr. Kallendorf was my favorite professor I had at A&M, and certainly the one with whom I had the most interaction in the classroom. He was helpful, encouraging, and had a wonderful sense of humor. I fondly remember the times he would be doubled over laughing with us at some overly poetic translation or an especially terrible pun. As a teacher now myself, I think of Dr. Kallendorf every time there is a moment of levity in the classroom brought about by the joy of shared learning. Thank you,...
