Read MoreDr. Primack was my professor at UF. He challenged me in a way no one else did. Because of him, I will always set goals with my students, provide the instruction to meet those goals and reward those that achieve. His "A" is one I have kept!

My heart goes out to the Primack family for their loss. However, please know that Dr. Primack lives on in all the lives he touched by his teaching, writing and example. I, for one was refreshed by his class at the College of Education. I will never forget his discussion about "The Myth of the Dedicated Teacher". It has served me well in a variety of situations. And I pass it on to others to try to help improve the lot of education majors. God bless.

My condolences to Professor Primack's family. Not only have you lost a father and husband, we (our community, University and world) have lost a great man and great teacher. A teacher in the strictest and most wonderful meaning of the word. A teacher who lead and would not accept anything but the best from his students. In a world becoming increasingly difficult and complicated, he was rare beacon of rationality and logic. Our world desperately needs more teachers like Professor Primack. ...
