Not sure what to say?

What a wonderful person to be a mentor for all of us and his students.

It was privilege to know such a person who was so devoted to educating his students.

He was a great physics professor. I still remember his voice, 18 years after the fact, strenuously emphasizing the importance of boundary conditions.

I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to know and love Uriel. I will miss his humor, smile, and his laugh; oh that laugh!! He enriched my life and I will miss him dearly. Cheers Uriel, to an amazing life and life well lived!

I just shared my memories of coming to his house and walking on the greenbelt.

I worked with Uriel in the BFA for years, and my interactions with him were always pleasant. I was alway impressed with his optimism and dedication to duty. He was a great man, and a good friend.

I had the pleasure of working with Uriel when he took on undergraduate research partners through the SURE and UROP programs at CU. He was kind, supportive, and friendly to his students and they thought highly of him, as did I. I'm both surprised and sad to hear of his passing and I offer my sincere condolences to his loved ones.
