For those of you who had the opportunity to take a class with Dr. Pugh, you undoubtedly recall how approachable he could make higher level concepts for undergrads. I am very saddened to learn of his passing and wish his family peace during this time of transition for them.

We are sorry to report that our friend and colleague, Dr. James Pugh, passed away during the night following a long illness. He began teaching at Georgia Southern in 1995, and became an emeritus professor when he retired in 2015. His office door was always open to students; the highlight of his day was the chance to talk with students. And he was often the highlight of their day.
We will miss you, Dr. Pugh. Rest in peace.
