Omg this is horrible. He was a big reason I got into sociology, though I thought they were all like him!

Oh no... I took soc 101 with him ~23yrs ago and it was transformative.

Every single memory I’ve heard has been so overwhelmingly positive and durable. His legacy lies beyond his written scholarship, but in the lives he transformed.

It is truly shocking. Just a lousy way to go. Would like to think he knew how much he was valued for his many and varied contributions.

I never got to meet the man, but his writing and wisdom are foundational to how I understand and do sociology. His ideas inspired breakthroughs for me in so many areas. What a tragedy for him to be taken like this

I can't even believe it. My heart breaks for him and Berkeley sociology 💔

I’m so sorry, Laura. Just absolutely horrible.
