John DiMarco

Avner was precisely the sort of bright new faculty member
that I loved to see arriving in the department: smart,
interesting, a font of exciting research ideas, yet easy to
get along with, thoughtful, kind and willing to step up for
the good of others. We were privileged to have him with us.
His untimely death is a great loss, and he will be deeply
missed.
