Joseph Michael Sulock Jr.

Remembering you Joe on the anniversary of your passing. I know you are still dancing in heaven and helping anyone up there who needs a hand. Other than my parents, Your impact on me was the largest of any adult in my life, having pushed me to go to grad school which ultimately shaped the future of my life. I will always respect and love you my dear friend.

Joe was a wonderful human being.
My life is much richer for having known him.

Joe taught several econ classes to me an others during my 4 years at UNC-A (85-89) and I considered Joe much more than a teacher. Joe was a true friend to me and countless other students. He was a fabulous teacher and could make any subject incredibly interesting. As the obituary says, he was also a terrific coach, encouraging you to always grow and give life your best, as he did himself.

Without question, Joe was the most influential professor on my professional life and I...

Started as an amazing professor, wound up a family friend who I can't express enough gratitude for. "Doc Sulock" was there to offer wisdom and support at so many critical junctures for my family, always instilling confidence with a smile and a brilliant, delightfully irreverent sense of humor. I know I speak for many when I say that I wouldn't be half the person I am today without his generous guidance. A wonderful fellow who will be sorely missed and whose memory will always make me smile.

Joe was just a wonderful person! I got to share, in some form, many of the descriptions so well represented in the tribute about his life! I would also like to say that his four wood needs to be displayed in the Golf Hall of Fame for it’s mystical powers! Joe married an equally wonderful partner in Dot, had three children, and lived an exemplar life mostly making the lives of his contemporaries better! I would like to express my condolences to his whole family, and Godspeed with the...

Since I taught with Dot, I know how fantastic a teacher she was, and I sometimes listened to Joe’s classes ( outside the door), realizing how creatively he held the students’ interest in economics - humor, examples, and interaction - the learning just seeped in!
The Sulocks have championed causes and supported where many have been neglected. I am thankful for having known two such wonderful people who show what humanity means. Not to mention their great inclusive dance parties!

DURING OUR HIGH SCHOOL YEARS JOE AND I PLAYED GOLF AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. HE CADDIED AT TAVISTOCK C.C. IN HADDONFIELD, NJ. WE PLAYED - HE WAS GREAT, ME NOT SO MUCH, BUT JOE KEPT TEACHING ME EVERY-TIME WE PLAYED.....HE WAS A WONDERFUL PERSON AND A GREAT GOLFER. I AM SURE THAT HIS FAMILY WILL MISS HIM GREATLY. A REALLY GREAT HUMAN BEING !!
