Mark David Alicke

My prayers go out to Mark’s family, friends, and students. I was one of his students in the nineties and would help out with research groups that he was conducting. He was such an influence and inspiration in my life. He had such a wonderful sense of humor! He will sorely be missed.

My deepest sympathies and condolences to Mark’s family and friends. I was student of his and ran research groups for him in the early nineties. He was huge influence on me and opened many research opportunities for undergraduate students when he arrived at OU. He had a great intellect and sense of humor as well. Mark will be truly missed.

I did not personally interact with Mark, but was probably his oldest student. I so appreciate his sincerity and patience in teaching me, and I am truly indebted. S. J. Rowland

My deepest sympathies to Mark's loved ones. Mark was one of my professors when I was an undergraduate student at Ohio University in the early 1990s. His engaged teaching, interest in my work, and his support and confidence in me meant so much. He is one of the bright lights that paved my way to becoming a professor of social psychology myself. Deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Such rich memories of Mark. He will live on and on in the hearts and minds of those who knew him.

Susan, Alexei, and all those touched by Mark's humanity - I am so devastated to hear the tragic news. I have always thought of Mark as an exemplar professor - a terrific thinker and compassionate colleague who combines wit with a love of good science. He will be sorely missed.

To Susan, Alexei, and all of Mark’s beloved friends, colleagues, and students: I am so sorry for your loss. Mark was so very kind and caring – and smart and funny! I spent lots of time with him when I was on sabbatical at the University of Florida in 1986, and I don’t think I have ever had more fun. His passing is such a tragedy. I wish I could have had one last good time with him. I guess we all do.
