During 62 years teaching at UC Berkeley, accounting professor Alan Robert Cerf touched the lives of more than 13,000 students, according to records he kept of his career at the Haas School of Business.

Professor Cerf was 93 when he died August 24,

His specialty was taxation, and, decades after many of his peers had retired, Cerf was still teaching a taxation class to 60 Berkeley-Haas undergraduates last year.
