Read MoreWhile I had several excellent professors during my time at AU, Professor Joe Dunham was the best. He was a passionate teacher whose classes were thought provoking, informative and entertaining. Its been many years since I graduated from AU, but I will always remember Joe Dunham. May he rest in peace.

Professor Dunham, I have been journeying through my old college years and you came up as one of my most influential professors.
As I looked you up, I found out that you are no longer in earthly body. I am saddened that I wasn't able to speak to you once more to let you know how great you were as I journeyed life as a young person, I am grateful to know that you are in a better place.
You always remained non-biased in our many ethical classroom debates and I appreciate that...

My condolences to the Joe Dunham family on the loss of such a sweet man. I was an adult student when I first met professor Dunham back in 1999 at Aurora University. I remember him fondly as a caring teacher and an eloquent speaker. Such a loss.. Mary F. S.

I didn't know Joe, but through his daughter Melanie, I have come to know what a great man and human being he was. He was and will always be loved by people whose lives he touched. May his soul rest in peace and give the whole family the strength and courage to reflect on the good memories he's left behind.
