EUGENE NICHOLAS KOZLOFF

Dr Kozloff was one of my very favorite professors in both my undergraduate (L&C) and graduate (Stanford) education. These many years later I still have a vivid memory of my experiences in his classroom. Again, deeply felt condolences to his dear ones.

Dr. Kozloff was a mentor, friend and neighbor during the years we spent at Friday Harbor in graduate school. He showed me how to find kinorhinchs in Argyll Lagoon and he provided insightful edits on my very first scientific papers. I virtually memorized his field guide to seashore life as an undergraduate, and was amazed when he also published a guide to terrestrial organisms. A truly great man.

I knew of Koz but then met and got to know him when I moved to Orcas Island in 1991. I can feel in my heart right now the excitement I felt in his presence...whether a talk, a hike, just conversation...he was passionate, profound and funny. One of my favorite teachers in life. I will miss you Koz!

We knew Dr. Kozloff was a special person when he was teaching at Lewis & Clark, so our sorority adopted him as our Delphi Dad. Gene, Anne and Rae became like family to us. Anne and Gene hosted our group of Delphi girls at their home--a special treat were Anne's crisp, delicious oatmeal cookies and I'm still using her handwritten recipe 55+ years later! Our connection with them continued after they moved to Friday Harbor and a number of us visited them there through the years.
It...

As a "gung-ho naturalist" of the first water he wooed me from chemistry to biology as my major in 1958, then mentored me in research on Protozoa and urged me on to graduate school in comparative animal physiology. My career as an educator was continually inspired by him and it was such a treat to spend a year at Friday Harbor Labs in 1971, 10 years after my BA from Lewis and Clark.

Anne may know that the late John Belton and I had many happy reminiscences of Gene as we used our biology...

Dear family, just a note to share with you a story about Dr. Kozloff and his impact on my life. My father, Clifford Hamar, was a colleague of his at Lewis & Clark. As an elementary child, he inspired me to become a birder, a past time I enjoy to this day! He loaned me binoculars, gave me bird lists, and told me where I could watch on the campus. He took my interest seriously and to this day I am deeply grateful! Love and condolences, Rosalind Hamar

Ma chere Rae,
Je viens de lire les tristes nouvelles du passage de ton pere. Sache que moi et le Cercle Francais t'envoyons notre sympathie sincere pour cette perte. Quelle vie interessante ton papa a eue. De ses racines en Russie, a Tehran, ensuite en Californie, en Oregon, et finalement pres de chez nous maintenant. Et ses etudes! Ses avocations! Ses livres! Nous pensons a toi, ma chere Rae. Bises,
Susan

I am so saddened to hear of Dr. Kozloff's passing. He has been an inspiration to me all my life as I have explored the plants and animals of my locations. His book Plants and Animals of the Pacific Northwest is sooo dogeared from all its use. I'll never forget our walks in the woods of Lewis and Clark College where the algae and moss would excite him and in turn excite us, his students. What an inspiration to us all.

A beloved professor of mine at Lewis and Clark College. Deep condolences to his dear ones. He left an indelible intellectual impression on my life. He was a gifted professor.
