Frederick Verle Janzen

I am sorry for your loss. Fred was one of my favorite professors at UT. He was always there with the right guidance and support.

I enjoyed working with Fred at the College of Social Work for many years. He was always quick with a joke, but quicker with a smile. He has such a sweet way about him. He will be missed. So sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry to hear about Fred. I worked with him for a long time in the College of Social Work, as he was the Associate Director of the research institute and was one of my bosses there. Fred was the best! He was so kind, helpful, supportive, funny, and would do anything for anyone. He would drop whatever he was doing to help everyone out.

Fred was such a wholehearted mentor - words like deep, kind, humble, brilliant, and encouraging barely capture my experiences with Fred. I was most fortunate to study under Fred, and when he escorted me to be hooded, it was a deep honor. For the past 18 years, every time I meet with a student who is struggling, it is Fred's example of kindness, patience, and elegance in explanation that guides my effort, and I hope to...
