On behalf of Morgan Marietta <[log in to unmask]>: > > The family of Mark Perlman has asked me to communicate the sad news of his > death and the arrangements for his services to his colleagues and friends. > This is a great loss for us all, both personally and for the world of ideas. > He was the model of a professor for me, and I know he served an inspiring role > for many others. He was an implacable fixture in a world too ready to adapt > to lower expectations. With that fixture gone we are all lessened. As Al > Roth mentioned at his 80th birthday celebration, as well as studying > institutions he had himself become one. > > > > His funeral will take place on Tuesday, May 9th at 10:00 a.m. at the Schugar > Funeral Chapel, 5509 Centre Ave in Shadyside. Visitation will begin at 9:00. > > > > Graveside services and his internment will be at Beth Moses Cemetery in > Farmingdale, New York on Wednesday at 10:30. > > > > A memorial service will be held later this summer when many friends and > colleagues will be able to gather from farther distances to commemorate his > life and works. For those interested in speaking or writing for the memorial > we will be in touch about the plans in the near future.
