Dr. Neyhus was a wonderful, kind man. I knew him in the Education department at UIC. I will always remember his laugh and devotion to students, who had the utmost respect for this good man.

Dr. Neyhus was a great teacher, calm and helpful. I remember well his humor, Boston accent, and his tremendous diagnostic skills. I am so sorry for your loss.
