Dr. Edwin Paul Willems

Truly a scholar, gentleman and agent for positive growth. He was my favorite graduate professor while in my Ph.D. Social Psychology program at the University of Houston many decades ago.

I remember every day Ed´s teachings of consequences of actions and how our individual behaviors impact others. This holistic philosophy is so essential to our world today. I will always be thankful that his sociology background found its way into our psychology program at U of H. Thank you always Ed.

Ed was the committee chair for my dissertation at University of Houston, as well as professor in a few of my classes. His orientation toward systems thinking had a profound and lasting effect on not only my work in the field of psychology but also in my worldview of life and my personal relationships. I cannot emphasize enough his value to me. I only today learned of his passing. I am so grateful for his place in my life and I wish the best for his family.
