In Remembrance
Alumnus and criminal justice instructor Gary Apperson (MSCJ, '06) passed away on January, 28, 2017, due to cancer complications. Those who knew him as a classmate, professor, and colleague knew he was a police officer by trade but a teacher by heart. As his wife, Deb, recently shared: "When he realized he couldn't teach anymore, the light went out of his eyes. He truly loved mentoring and helping students to excel."
Gary will be greatly missed by all whose paths he crossed, whether it was on the force, in the classroom, or out on the trail. If you would like to offer your condolences, please send them to Deb Apperson, c/o Distance Learning Center, UW-Platteville, 1 University Plaza, Platteville WI 53818-3099.
