I just heard about Professor Garth St. Omer's death, a year after his passing. He was such a remarkable teacher, and a kind friend to me. He always encouraged my writing, and his opinion meant everything to me. I just ordered two of his books to re-read as tribute to him. Aside from being a brilliant man, he was also a good, kind man who helped my spirit soar. No doubt he is still being missed by many. His warmth was infectious. My condolences to the family, and to everyone who knew him, and to future UCSB students, who will miss out on his brilliance.
Best,
