Surely he fulfilled the task a teacher sets for himself: to inspire. What wonderful memories of a professor to carry with you. Surely he fulfilled the task a teacher sets for himself: to inspire.

He was not just my teacher but my mentor and a friend a great friend. Good bless his soul, he will be greatly missed.

I have so many fantastic memories of Dr. D (as I always called him)--meeting at Ausiellos for a beer, or slam poetry at the Starry Plow in Berkeley. NDNU will not be the same without him.

He was an amazing teacher. Instead of lecturing he would kind of tell stories, and they would make you laugh and make you think, and they tended to be the kinds of things that would stay with you long after. Your description of him captures him so perfectly. Thanks so much for posting. Ardy was one of my favorite teachers at Notre Dame. He was an amazing teacher.

Amazingly, I never had him in class. Yet, he remembered not only me but where I was from and my mom - all this merely from a conversation on Orientation Day when we sat at his table for lunch. What a class act! My daughter is looking at CND as a possible choice for college in a few years and I took for granted that she would get to meet him and this time, I would be the mom that he'd remember. Instead, I get to selfishly relish the fact that I had my time and place in his life and he had his in mine. You couldn’t have said it any better. Amazingly, I never had him in class.

He and I were friends for 20 years and, yes, everything you said was so true about him. Glad to hear he touched others as much as he affected me. I'm a teacher because of him. I was his student, too.
