IN MEMORIAM Prof. Adi A. Garfunkel & Prof. D. Walter Cohen
Louis F. Rose, DDS, MD
Editor Emeritus
In 2018, two very special people who were near and dear to the heart of Compendium passed away. Drs. D. Walter Cohen and Adi A. Garfunkel both were stalwarts of the dental education and publishing industry and instrumental in the success of this venerable journal.
As founder of Compendium and throughout his long and distinguished career with many noble works and achievments, Dr. Cohen was untiring and creative in his pursuit of excellence. The dental profession and the greater world have lost a role model for teaching, leadership, and unity; a man who was in every way “second to none”.
A key figure in the development of Compendium, Dr. Garfunkel served on the publication’s Advisory Board for 30 years, lending his skill and talent in oral medicine and dental research. But more than that, he was a friend of Compendium, someone whose support was palpable through both good and tough times.
Thanks to their hard work, vision, and mentorship, Compendium has a bright future.
IN MEMORIAM DR. JAMES BAHCALL, DR. TERRY REES, AND DR. RAY WILLIAMS
Markus B. Blatz, DMD, PhD, Prof Dr med dent
Editor-in-Chief
Compendium mourns the recent passing of Drs. James Bahcall, Terry Rees, and Ray Williams.
Dr. Rees, former chair of periodontology and director of the Stomatology Center at Baylor, joined the Compendium Board in 1993. He was shortly followed in 1996 by Dr. Williams, the former chair of periodontology and Straumann Distinguished Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Adams School of Dentistry and dean of Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Williams served in many capacities on the Board, most recently as our International Editor. Dr. Bahcall, a clinical professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago School of Dentistry and former chair of Endodontics at Northwestern University, joined the Board in 2016, helming the Endodontics section since March 2020.
All three were gentlemen and scholars, tireless in their commitment to dentistry and dental education and will be sorely missed by all of us here at Compendium and throughout the dental community.
