Read MoreI just heard of Moe's death today from Bud Greenwood. Dave was a good friend thru St. Mary's grade school and Kaukauna High School. I remember many times when we would play catch and talk in his back yard. He graduated either first or second in our class so I knew he would do well --- and he did. My condolences to his wife and sister.

I was sorry to hear of Dave's recent death. Even though it has been many years ago, I still have happy memories of the classes on aesthetics that we jointly taught at USF. As a philosophy of art class, he provided many insights on the art side while I did the philosophy. Condolences to the family.

Professor Derus was a wonderful person and my Professor of Literary Criticism and of Poetry. He made a deep impression on USF English majors, and will be fondly remembered by my family.
