In my lifetime I had never had a better friend than Joseph Krisak. Joe was an extraordinary man possessed of the courage to address the most difficult problems impacting our lives. He understood the fragile nature of the course of existence of the individual, the actions and events that occur in living, the dynamism of energy of both action and expression in personality. Joe understood well the various theories, doctrines and philosophical systems that attempted to explain the phenomena of the universe in terms of immanent force and energy. The University of Memphis, Rhodes College, among other colleges and universities, are better institutions of learning because of Dr. Krisak. His strong, positive regard and affection for his colleagues, friends and family was eminent beyond comparison and stood above all others. Joe was dearly loved. His absence leaves us with great loss and sadness, but the thought of Joe will forever remain a benediction within the hearts of all who knew him.
