Charles Krobot, Pharm.D., who died June 27 at 73, was so beloved within the College of Pharmacy that one of his colleagues thought it was the perfect running joke to refer to Dr. Krobot as his “archnemesis.” <\/p>\n

The irony was obvious. <\/p>\n

“I have never met a better man,” said Joseph Vetro, Ph.D., associate professor of pharmaceutical sciences.<\/p>\n

It’s a sentiment widely shared within the College of Pharmacy, UNMC community and beyond. <\/p>\n

“There are some people who touch your heart just by being who they are,” said colleague Ally Dering-Anderson, Pharm.D.<\/p>\n

“A kind and ethical professor and a prince of a human being,” said vice chancellor for external relations Bob Bartee.<\/p>\n

“He was a mentor without even trying, just by the way he lived his life,” said Tom Davis, Pharm.D., Nebraska Medicine’s lead pharmacist, outpatient and oncology.<\/p>\n

“A gentleman educator, a professional with integrity and purpose,” said Sam Augustine, Pharm.D., professor of pharmacy practice at Creighton University.<\/p>\n

“Charlie was a beloved faculty member and friend who impacted countless students in his role as the associate dean,” said dean Keith Olsen, Pharm.D.<\/p>\n

Dr. Krobot died Sunday following a six-month fight against cancer, according to his Omaha World-Herald obituary.<\/p>\n

There will be no public services, but memorials in his honor can be made to the UNMC College of Pharmacy Scholarship Fund or the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center Healing Arts Program Fund through the University of Nebraska Foundation.<\/p>\n

He worked as a pharmacist for 45 years.<\/p>\n

Dr. Krobot took a number of bold turns during his career. He already was a registered pharmacist when, at 35, he decided to go back to school and get his doctorate — his Pharm.D. degree, at UNMC. He then worked “on the floor” at Clarkson Hospital, overseeing a satellite pharmacy that prepared chemotherapy medications for cancer patients. He later became a part-time faculty member at UNMC and earned teaching accolades.<\/p>\n

But in 2003, he got the call to become the College of Pharmacy’s associate dean for academic affairs. Now-dean emeritus Clarence Ueda, Pharm.D., Ph.D., was pleased to have Dr. Krobot at UNMC.<\/p>\n

“Charlie was one of the most respected pharmacists in the state,” Dr. Ueda said.<\/p>\n

Dr. Ueda’s successor as dean, Courtney Fletcher, Pharm.D., agreed:<\/p>\n

“He was kind, caring and compassionate,” Dr. Fletcher said. “He was a fine man; he was my friend — and the college, our students and I, will miss him terribly.”<\/p>\n

Dr. Krobot was a former president of the Nebraska Pharmacists Association and was instrumental in re-writing the state’s pharmacy regulations in the late 1990s. He also was active in merging the old Nebraska Pharmacists Association with the former Nebraska Society of Hospital Pharmacists, Dr. Dering-Anderson said.<\/p>\n

The College of Pharmacy plans to establish a scholarship in his name.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
