JACOB FELDMAN Obituary
In loving memory of Professor Emeritus Jacob "Jack" Feldman (University of California, Berkeley) age 89. Jack passed away peacefully on May 28 in Berkeley, California with loved ones around him. Jack lived a rich and rewarding life, full of deep and long-lasting friendships, music and the joys of intellectual activity. He was devoted to his family and led a highly successful and productive work life as a mathematician. Jack's loss will be felt by his family, friends, many students and colleagues and indeed by anyone who got to know this mensch whose charm and kind heart brought so much laughter, warmth and sense of belonging into our lives. We love him and will miss him profoundly.

I have never forgotten Jack Feldman. He was someone I had a special friendship with over a period of years. I was an immature woman struggling for my career as an author and until later didn't value how truly brilliant and wonderful and generous he was. So many years had passed. A few weeks ago, I thought I'd e-mail Jack and say hello. As I always felt he was timeless, and would live forever, he lived in my heart. When I googled to find his e-mail I was shocked and saddened to see that he had passed. He had guided my career, and had supported me in so many ways. I shall always feel love for him and I know that he is in some wonderful place and I shall always give him hugs and blessings.
