So sad to hear this news. Professor Wefing was my academic adviser and he really went to bat for me when I needed it the most. I will forever be grateful for that. He was a warm, gentle, and extremely kind man and he will be greatly missed.

He was a great professor and he will be missed by all who knew him. I took his communications class in spring 2010 and he did a great job! My thoughts and prayers are with the family!
