Marion BOGO

I am so sad to hear about Marion's passing. I never met her and I consumed a great deal of her writing and publications as I made my way through my doctoral studies. I felt so indebted to her from her research on social work OSCE's and experential education. I'm sorry for your loss.

A loss to the community. Please accept my deepest condolences on your personal loss:, By Geoffrey,Shauna, their children and extended families, may you find comfort that you are joined by the larger community. Marion's kindness, sharing herself, will be long remembered.

I want to express my deepest condolences to...

On a personal note, I am a professor emeritus and researcher from Maryland and she was a personal mentor who met with me when I first was working on my doctorate and shared her unpublished work and developed measures so that I could expand the field performance literature. She was always in demand at conferences and yet always generous, wise and warm with her...

Marion was an inspirational teacher and researcher. I am grateful to Marion for her warmth and generosity on my visits to U of T and during her travel to Australia.

Sincere condolences to Marion’s family and her colleagues at University of Toronto. Karen Healy

Marion will be missed. Over many years Marion was always grateful for time spent at her summer cottage with Norman. It was my privilege to have been her gardener there, for many years. My very sincere condolences to her family. Regards, Marion S.
