Read MoreProfessor Richard Gonce was a dedicated teacher, an inspirational and creative scholar. Above all, he was kind man with compassion for everyone and a dry sense of humor that would spark a room. I was privileged to be his colleague at Grand Valley State University from 1995-2012.

Had Professor Gonce for two economics classes. I learned more valuable information from the professor than from any other class at Grand Valley. He had a way to make students think.
