Dear Jane, Evelyn and I were so saddened to learn of the passing of Lou 5 years ago. We enjoyed your visits to Rochester, MN, to teach our residents and fellows. We remember our dinners with you and Lou so fondly. Lou gave me a solid foundation in Finance when he taught in Madison, WI. I remember his brilliant teaching and the twinkle in his eye. The thought of Dr. Gapenski brings a warm smile. Jim and Evelyn

Dr. Gapenski taught me so much about healthcare finance. After 25 years, I am still using that information in my work. He was a great teacher and leader in his field.

Thank you, Dr. Gapenski. I have used your textbooks on Healthcare Finance to educate many young men and women in healthcare administration. May the Good Lord bless and keep you in His Bossom.
