Not sure what to say?

I miss the evenings with George and Sara. They were wonderful friends.

Frank Bonacci and I were in the same class with Mr. Anastaplo! It was a great class! It's good to hear from other members of the class. Mr. Anastaplo's presence is indeed among the students, both past and present! God bless his family with peace to know that he has had such an impact on all who have come into contact with him. Love, Barbara & John (Balaskas)Fox, Rosary, 1982

Mr. Anastaplo was my first teacher and advisor when I was at Rosary College. His classes were a challenge for this first generation college student, but what I will remember, more than anything else, is his kindness and humanity. Rest in Peace.

Dr. Anastaplo would not allow me to be a lazy thinker and in doing so, changed my life forever. I remember his classes at Rosary (Dominican) College and feel privileged to have been his student. He left the world a better place.

He was my Humanities teacher at Rosary College in 1962. Truly a life changing event. I have never read anything important without thinking about how critical EVERY word can be. A great teacher, great citizen and model human being. I feel privileged to have known him.

What a privilege it is to have been one of Dr. Anastaplo's students at Rosary (aka Dominican) in the late 60ies. ...a man I will never forget. Brilliant, humorous, compassionate and such a wonderful educator.
My condolences to his family. Lynn Krebs

Dr. George Anastaplo inspired me in my Political Science courses at Rosary in 1965 & 1966. He continued to enthrall us in his Socratic teachings at The Clearing in Door County. What a gift! Thank you Dr. Anastaplo. --Joanne Martin Lund (Class of 1967)

May God rest this gentle giant of a man!

I remember Dr. Anastaplo's class at Rosary in my freshman year (1978-79). He always spoke softly but gave us a lot to think about! May God rest his soul! He will be missed!
