To the family of Dr. Cadenhead: Dr. Cadenhead was my PhD advisor during my graduate school years at UB. He taught me how to write scientific papers and how to interpret data involving monomolecular films. It was a great pleasure working in his laboratory. He was a true gentleman and an exceptional scientist. Please accept my sincere condolences.

To the Cadenhead family: I was a close colleague to Professor Cadenhead my whole career. He was a highly valued member of the University and the Department of Chemistry, his wonderful personality, friendly support of everyone, students, colleagues, staff...will be missed deeply. My fondest memories are how thoughtful he was with helping students at all levels, not just those in his lab, but everyone's.
Sincerely, Joe Gardella
