Spencer John Cosmos

I had floundered through the last 2 years of college and was taking a shortened elective course on linguistics from Dr Cosmos when I rediscovered why I pursued higher education after all. He taught me that it´s alright to analyze in your own individual way, rather than just following the rote methods of others, to spew foregone conclusions instead of your own theories. Without this influence I wouldn´t have gone on to earn an MA and a JD. It also got me through 33 years of practicing law and...

I was reminiscing about my time at Catholic University and sharing stories about Prof. Cosmos. He was the type of scholar and teacher that you dream of when you think about what college will be like - passionate about learning, supportive of growth, eager to share. I am sad to learn that he has passed and very grateful for the short time I got to learn with him.

I worked with Spencer for many years and thought very highly of this kind and brilliant teacher. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends.

SpenceYour bright smile and loving heart will always be remembered by your friends and neighbors.

My very best to the Cosmos Family, a great guy. Spencer had a magnetic personality, you could not dislike him. I've known Spencer only a few years, he made a very memorable impression on me which will not be forgotten. I will miss our breakfast discussions at Panera's. Rest in peace friend.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Spencer John Cosmos. May you be comforted in knowing that our Heavenly Father cares for you. He will give you strength and courage to cope with your grief.
