It is with great sadness that we share the news of the sudden passing of Martin Arno. Always kind, cheerful and willing to help, he served as an instructor and TA for many of our Classical Studies and Religion courses over the years while pursuing his PhD in the Department of Religion at UofT. We mourn his loss and send our condolences to his family and friends.
