Dear Michelle and Francoise,
My deepest condolences to you on the loss of your father.
To those of us who had the privilege of studying under him, he was a passionate teacher who shared his all-encompassing vision with tremendous enthusiasm. He saw opportunities and potential for innovation and interdisciplinary design in every aspect of life. His effusive energy, warmth and engagement inspired many Systems Design students to press on to find their calling, applying advanced problem-solving in creative ways, often well outside of the field of engineering.
I have many wonderful memories of conversations with your Dad, from my telephone admissions interview (that's a story of it's own!) to his high energy classroom instruction, to his coaching of our SysDes project work. Although the memories were created in less than 5 years, he left a lasting imprint on my life and will be remembered fondly.
With sympathy,
Marcia Wisniewski, BASc., MBA, CFA
Systems Design, Class of '88
