Jerome J. Hausman

Sending my deepest sympathies to Jerry's family. Just finding out about his passing. I came across his address on the back of a drawing/sketch I had done many many years ago and mailed that to his last address. It was returned to sender today. He was a remarkable individual and is missed today.

Jerry Hausman was a huge influence on me. To many educators doctoral students are just a number. But not Dr. Hausman. Jerry took an interest in me and I will always remember our many talks about life, art and the love of teaching. I was lucky to have had him as a mentor. I visited him in his home in Chicago many years later. His smile and cheerfulness will stay with me the rest of my life.

I only recently learned of Jerry's passing. He was a superb teacher and scholar but what I will remember most is his gentleness. He was the kindest person I ever met.

Jerry and I worked together on several projects while we were on the staff of Urban Gateways. We both lived in Evanston and he would often pick me up and we would drive into Chicago together. Great conversations and a wonderful friend. Christina Dougherty

My condolences to the family. I was a student at Minneapolis College of Art and Design,76-80, and remember Jerry as an exemplary art educator with a kind and generous personality. He truly believed in transformative power of art in society. I am grateful for having been his student and benefitted greatly from his friendship.

I will miss you.You were a great person to know..
