Dr. Linam What is a dear friend to means we continued to exchange Christmas cards for over 40 years. I met him in my zoology class at USC as it was called at that time. He became my advisor and many times we would have wonderful conversations. When I was going to graduate I did a painting for him as I loved him that much. In later years we would meet for coffee on occasion at Barnes & Noble and I was just getting ready to call him for our annual Christmas visit. My heart is broken as he was one of the finest people I ever met in my entire life. I am so fortunate that he walked my path and we met and remained friends for such a long time. I became a biology teacher at a local high school and when people would say who inspired you I would always say Dr. Linam. He had the best and driest sense of humor I loved his sarcasm. He helped to shape me into the person and teacher I became. May Dr. Linam rest in peace and be free of pain. He is reunited with his beloved Betty. I asked God to watch over his family and help to give you comfort at this time. Sincerely, Suzanne Aronofsky
