Forever grateful for the privilege to have met Dr. Markewich and receive the most genuine care and support throughout the 40 years under his guidance.

He will be missed but never forgotten.

I knew Reese as my supervisor and mentor when I was learning how to be a social worker in the 1970s--his insight and sensitivity were extraordinary. Much later, I changed careers and became a musicologist. It was then that I discovered his book Inside Outside, which is everything its title implies and then some: in fact, it is the best introduction to jazz harmony that I have ever read. It was a privilege to know him, and I send my condolences to his friends and family.
