Not sure what to say?

Not sure how I missed this, or else I posted something on another site. But just in case will post something here, even if late. Howard was not only a smart man but a great friend and mentor to me. Both inside and outside of our mutual ASTM activities. A humble man and after reading more about his life and learning more about what I did not know I can understand even more so why he was so admired and talented. He has been greatly missed by me these past 8 years and I still have many...

As Professor of Geological Sciences and Dean of the College of Letters and Science, Howard Pincus brought the mind-set and aspirations of Ohio State University and the University of Minnesota to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and set it on the path to become a great research university. He also changed the trajectory of my life and career when, in 1969, he consulted Robert Turner of the English Department, who preceded him in death by only a few days, and appointed a young Associate...

Dear Maud. As a graduate student under your great husband, I can't think of a more insightful, brilliant and caring professor. He taught me many things for which I am very grateful. He was a true leader during very trying times at the University of Wisconsin-Milwuakee. Linda and I are deeply saddened and our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Mrs. Pincus and Family,
I am sending you heartfelt sympathy at this time of great sorrow. Many years have passed since we were neighbors, but I fondly recall the valued friendship you and your husband shared with my parents. You and your family will remain in my thoughts and prayers in the days to come.

Dear Maud: Lou and I send our deepest sympathies for your (and our) loss of Howard. He was a good and reliable friend whose help and counsel is warmly remembered.

Dear Maud,
My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

Not sure you remember me, we lived on Joos Ave in Columbus about three doors up the street. I remember many times sitting on my front porch chatting and watching your Glen and Phillip play with my Richard and Joyce. Seems such a long time ago, however very memorable.

Have thought of you many times in the past and wondering where you were. Hope you are well, my best wishes to you in the future.

Love...

Maud, I wish you strength and wonderful memories in your loss of Howard. When I saw you had 4 grand-children I thought how lucky they are to have you as a grand-mother. Hope to have more contact with you. Shane 614-885-7630- 5653 Northbrook Dr W, Worthingon, Oh 43085.
