I was fortunate to have Joe as my advisor through two graduate degrees. His advice was always gentle, thoughtful and empowering. Joe was a committed researcher and teacher, a true intellectual, highly principled and always on the side of science. He was a leader in the introduction of behavioural psychology at the U of M and in the process influenced generations of students who went on to find that his teaching shaped their personal lives and in many cases enabled them to become of great help to others. Joe’s kindness to others was constant and he somehow remained completely unpretentious despite his success in a competitive world. I will remember him as one of a handful of people who greatly influenced my life. I extend my sympathy to his family and all others who will miss him.

We had the pleasure of learning from Joe many years ago. He had the unique skill of providing direction while allowing you to make your own decisions, and mistakes. Joe was an accomplished researcher, but more importantly he fostered scientific thinking impacting on countless graduate students- who in turn developed their careers. This is Joe’s legacy- more than the sum of his actions. Joe was a kind person. He was concerned for the well being of others, and would often go out of his way to help his students. It was noted at times Joe had a few quirks- and we loved them. May he rest in peace. - Posted by: Brian and Patricia Rector (Former student) on: Jan 18, 2023
