Sad News...

I received the following message this morning from CTIS Division Dean Tim Woods:
It is with great sadness that I bring you news of the passing of Greg McIlhiney. I have not known Greg for very long, but for the short time we had I came to appreciate him as a wonderful individual. Greg's passing is a tremendous loss to us all. We will, of course, forward on to all any information we receive concerning services.
I have known and worked with Greg for over ten years and I cannot believe this sad news. He was a warm, caring person, always willing to help answer questions and always working towards making our courses the best they could be for students. He was an excellent teacher and a good friend and I will miss him more than I can ever express.

I hope those of you who knew Greg and were lucky enough to have him for a teacher will join me in taking some time to remember him; his warmth, his humor, his willingness to take on the most intractable CSS problem, his encouraging comments on your homework and his dedication to his students and his colleagues.

Greg - we’ll miss you.

Hi Sandi, I wrote almost the same words about Greg to a colleague. You captured his essence as a teacher and coworker. He would spend hours troubleshooting any Flash actionscript issue, and create files specifically for the issue and the person questioning.

I joined you in taking time to remember him.

Sincerely, Marcia Ganeles
