Gerhard Loewenberg

Dear Ina, Jerry was a wonderful mentor and friend, and I have fond memories of our time together. He was always a source of wise counsel, insight, and a ready laugh. He did so much good for the university and beyond.

Jerry Loewenberg was a great generous mentor to both myself and my husband Bob (Leonardi) when he engaged us in a comparative project on the Italian Parliament. I fondly remember him when Bob and I spent the summer of 1977 in Iowa City working on the project and attending to our new born son. He will always be in our heart. Raffaella Nanetti (Leonardi)

Jerry Loewenberg was my advisor and mentor during graduate school. I remember him warmly for his encouragement, generosity, enthusiasm and humanity. I learned much from him about being a good colleague, teacher and mentor, and he continues to inspire me to this day.
