Bernie Shapiro: An Ideal Role-Model

It's been more than 45 years since I first met Bernie Shapiro. I have been privileged to be his friend, colleague (UMass Lowell math-department), running partner, hiking partner, assistant lacrosse-coach, and hand-ball student.

His wisdom, energy, zest for life, and concern for others was remarkable. He was well-liked and admired by many many people.

His family was most important to him. His love for Yana, Mark, Stevi Ann, and Judi was central to his life.

His devotion to his students was unsurpassed. He was an inspiring teacher and counselor. His skill at providing advice to students was unmatched. Hundreds of students benefited greatly from his guidance in academic-, career-, financial-, and life-decisions.

Bernie will always remain in my memory as a role model - an example of how wonderful a human being can be.
