In Memory of Wayne Caron
Senior Lecturer and Assistant Professor
Our friend and colleague Wayne Caron died unexpectedly on August 24, 2007
"First I am a father.
Then I'm a therapist.
Next a teacher.
Then a scientist.
But mostly a friend."
The department has created a Memorial Page for you to send tributes, memories, poems, stories or pictures. To get connected with the site simple visit it our e-mail us (this is not Wayne's personal account, it will go straight to those of us who are managing the blog entries).
We hope that this Memorial Page will be helpful to all of Wayne's family and many friends -- whenever any of us need a little smile about Wayne, we can logon 24/7.
We have established a memorial fund to honor his extraordinary life -- his dedication to teaching, mentorship, and families dealing with dementia. The name of the fund is the Wayne Caron Memorial Fund. Funds contributed in honor of Wayne will be used for strategic initiatives around families and gerontology. If you wish to contribute to the fund, please forward your contributions to the University of Minnesota Foundation with a notation that the monies are for the Wayne Caron Memorial Fund.
