He was my pop, three doors up. Dr. Law treated me like his own daughter and always greeted me with a smile and a compliment.

Fondly remember having Dr. Law for English composition during my freshman year at Alvernia. He was such a dapper, thoughtful professor. I can only begin to imagine the number of lives he touched during his decades of teaching. God’s speed, Dr. Law.
