“I presented today for APA’s Division 2 conference… thought of Dr. K and how proud he would of been. He planted many seeds and we have all been blooming in different places. I am so sad he is no longer with us."

“I recall that (Lui) always respected Bill very much….He was an ethical and devoted researcher and energized (those who) worked with him. Bill helped Lui get along in the department, supported him, and even helped him with his technical writing…. (Bill) gave him all kinds of tips. We use to go to parties at his home a lot when he was married to first wife and girls were small. He even helped us find a babysitter when we had our boys. He did great work in developmental psych”.
