I know I'm horribly late writing this, but I just now heard of Dr. Gleim's passing. My experience with him at UF was incredible. He was the ONLY professor during my time there who invited me to his office to discuss my 'chosen profession', and that was to voice his concern that I wasn't grasping the concepts. I explained to him that I was doing my very best, and that I worked 2 jobs (one of them full time) to pay for school and probably didn't devote enough time to studies. He was super encouraging after that and even assisted me outside of class with accounting theory. I graduated, used his review course to pass the CPA exam 43 years ago, and went on to a successful career as an accountant, then Controller & CFO. I'm still enjoying the fruits of his kindness in Chattanooga, TN.

I know I'm late in writing this, but I just read of Irv's death in a University of Illinois report. I met Irv when I was a graduate student at the U of I. As a teaching assistant I had Holger Gleim as a student. After I left graduate school my career path kept me close to Irv's interests and we continued our friendship. I worked for the AICPA, California Society of CPAs, and National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) as well as teaching accountancy at several universities (sometimes teaching CPA Exam Review classes). I stayed connected to Irv at all of these places. When my daughter enrolled at the University of Florida Law School, Irv was kind enough to let her store some personal things at his company's facility in Gainesville. When I worked for NASBA and got more heavily involved in computerizing the CPA Exam and working with CPA Exam Review Providers, I met more frequently with Irv and his son, Garrett. Throughout all of this time I admired Irv greatly. He was an honest, straight-talking, kind man. He asked me to help him many times and I always did so gladly. Who wouldn't help a man like Irv, who would just as readily help you in any way he could. I am sorry to hear he has died. I remember talking to him after he had fallen off a horse and I told him he was lucky to be alive. That was years ago and we now know how much longer he would live. God bless Irv's family and community of friends; this man made a most meaningful impact on us all.

I learned so much from Dr. Gleim during my time at UF. He was my professor and he also gave me a part-time job editing his CIA exam review. I used his materials to pass the CPA exam on the first try with no review course. He encouraged me to go to law school, which I later did (after practicing as a CPA for several years) and I went on to successful career as an attorney (29 years and counting). He always genuinely cared about teaching and his students. Some professors are not really teachers but he was both.

in honor of Irvin.

Not only did I benefit from having Dr. Gleim as a professor at UF, I also used his study guides extensively to pass both the CPA and CIA exams. I also used the "Solutions Approach" successfully to pass many other exams during my education and career. Although my time with Dr. Gleim was short, his teaching has influenced my life for over 40 years.
God Bless,

As an employee at Gleim for over a decade, Dr. Gleim was the high-water mark for honesty and integrity. As a mentor, he spent years helping me to hone my leadership, empathy, and work ethic. I will miss him tremendously. I think he worked to leave this world better than he found it and has inspired me and many others to do the same. Onward and upward, Dr. Gleim.

I admired Dr. Gleim for his generosity, passion, and drive to go out of his way to care for others and their well-being and success. All my interactions with him showed that he was a man of wonderful character and integrity. He had wise words to share, but was also eager to hear people's opinions and their point of view. Whenever he spoke during Cake Days at Gleim, I remember smiling or chuckling, although he wasn't trying to be a comedian. :) He was just being himself and speaking from the heart. His kindness flowed through him. Dr. Gleim will be missed dearly. My love and deepest condolences go out to the Gleim family.
