Professor Paul H. Brietzke

Oh Dear, I have just stumbled upon the write up about Paul's passing while I was browsing the net today. I was the Dean at the ITM law school when Paul together with Jack Hiller, Heinrich Scholler (Germany) and Judd Epstein (Australia) were having a stint there. We had great time together both in and out of the law school. The last time I saw Paul was about ten years ago when he came in from Indonesia and I took him to the house for tea. Paul was a great scholar, friend and family man. I...

To this day, I still miss not being able to run into Paul and chatting about current issues.

I just learned of Professor Brietzke's passing via the Valpo Alumni Magazine. I am a 97 grad of Valpo Law and Prof Brietzke was my beloved contracts professor. I am very sorry for your family's loss. He touched many, many lives and did it with style and a dry sense of humor. He will be sorely missed!

Dear Susan and family--

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My condolences and thoughts through this difficult time.

I just heard this sad news. Susan, I am so very sorry. I am thinking of you and you family as you try and cope with this terrible loss.

I am very thankful for his love of learning, humanity & our world. Blessings on your continuing journey Professor!

I wasn't in Professor Brietzke's classes, unfortunately, but I interacted with him while working on charity events at the law school. He was a kind, humble, and very generous person, and he will be missed. My sincere condolences to Professor Brietzke's family.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I and my family's prayers are with the Brietzke family. If I recall correctly my first year contracts class (1979) was Professor Brietzke's first at Valparaiso. He was a brilliant man who showed equal passion for the law and for educating his students.
