I just found out through the grapevine that my PhD thesis chair died today. He was a rock for me not just with getting that stupid thesis done, but personally too. Held my hand a lot through my first run in with learning I was married to a dirtbag. Really, my whole grad school experience was characterized by my relationship with him.

I feel awful too because I hadn't responded to his last email and ... damn.

I'm sorry to hear that. The connections we make in our schooling can be intense and they are kind of like a second family.
