James Patrick Gander
In Loving Memory
Dear Barb and family,
I wish you peace during this tender time of losing such a remarkable person in your lives.
With sympathy,
Tina Bagley
Jim & Anita warmly welcomed us plus made Salt Lake City (SLC) feel like "home" for us Maloneys after our migration here from the Midwest. We are grateful for your stimulating conversations and high spirited friendship. We will truly miss Jim. We try to welcome others by modeling Jim's love and enthusiasm.
In the course of your life, if you are fortunate, you may come in contact with a few teachers who are truly inspirational, men and women who serve as role models, mentors, and friends. For me, Jim Gander was such a teacher. Without his encouragement, help, and financial aid, my life would have been much different, and much less rewarding. Jim was an outstanding teacher, clear, rigorous, and probing. Economics, for him, was a powerful tool for understanding the world, and he never stopped using it in creative ways to clarify important public policy issues. For decades, Jim Gander was a distinguished member of the University of Utah faculty, and an engaged and thoughtful member of the broader Utah community. I was very fortunate to have known him.
My deepest condolences to the Gander family.
Larry Phillips
