Robert H. Kadlec

As a 1969 ChE grad, prof Kadlec was tough but fair, and pushed us to answer the tough questions. RIP, and you leave a large set of footprints to follow.

I remember Professor Kadlec well from the ChemE thermodynamics course he taught when I was a junior at Michigan in 1978 (!). I remember him as a great teacher.

I´m sorry to learn of Professor Kadlec´s passing. I had him as a professor for two courses at the University of Michigan in Chemical Engineering. He was a fine teacher and human being. He will be sorely missed. I cherish my memories in the two classes that I had with him. Rest in peace Bob! We miss you!

It was a privilege to work with Bob! As we embarked on the "unknown frontier" of using and understanding large-scale wetlands for Everglades restoration, Bob provided invaluable guidance and analysis modeling tools. He was an inspiration to me! I learned so very much from him! He challenged my thinking and was always open for lively intellectual conversations! Thank you Bob for the amazing impact you made (and continue to make) on protecting and improving our world.

Bob and I were close colleagues for the last 10+ years of his life. Our work together focused on Everglades restoration and in specific straightening out some fallacies and misconceptions about how the STAs function and are modeled and on the slow pace of downstream recovery. We maintained zoom meetings every few weeks for several years running. It was a deeply meaningful collaboration on several levels. For me personally, I can see how my relationship with him transitioned over the years...
