Simon Dinitz

Dear Risa, Thea and Jeff, We were very sad to hear of your dear father's death. We think of your parents very often with all the many memories of things we have shared over the years. Your dad was a wonderful, caring person and very dedicated to his academic career. We had some very nice visits with him and your mom when they were in Israel several times and this will be part of our fondest memories of them. We share in your grief and sad loss but our memories of your parents will live...

Those of us who were students of Sy Dinitz are especially saddened by his death, not only because the field has lost a wonderful scholar, but also because the world has lost a rare and unique human being. Sy
taught many of us how to be criminologists, but, in retrospect, that now seems incidental. More importantly, he taught us to be
compassionate and caring teachers, socially involved humanitarins, and
role models for our students. Like several generations of students whom
he...

Sy's passion for his work & for life made students want to meet his expectations & to expect more out of ourselves.

To all of the Dinitz family we are sorry to hear of your loss.Its been many years but I have so many good thoughts,not to mention fun back in Columbus. The pot luck dinners , with all the close families. We will miss you....

I was very sorry to hear about Si's passing. He was the best classroom teacher I ever had and a model for all of us whom he helped enter the business. I was fortunate to be one of his students and that he served as a Visiting Professor at the University of Louisville.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. He was a wonderful professor and one of the kindest men I've ever known. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
