Ron Dunkley was an inspiration to me. We arrived in Waterloo in the same year, 1967, Mr. Dunkley as a Professor and I as a student, both in the Faculty of Mathematics. I felt an immediate kinship with Mr. Dunkley, both of us having grown up in Windsor. Coming from a background of teaching high school, he was an excellent professor. He treated students as individuals and supported us in our efforts to be successful in our studies. Ron and a number of his colleagues had a keen interest in fostering effective teaching practices in high school mathematics and was happy to support those of us who had chosen that path for ourselves. My time at Waterloo was enriched by his presence; my work as a high school mathematics teacher was shaped by his mentorship. Please accept my condolences on your loss and my gratitude for having had Mr. Dunkley in my educational life.
