Former FAU Dean, Gary Luing, Passes Away Story on Page 10 Gary Luing, Ph.D., former dean of Florida Atlantic University’s College of Business and Public Administration, died this month at his home in Lake Wales. He was 82. Luing’s wife of 65 years, Sherry, said he was trading stocks, one of his favorite pastimes in retirement, when he suffered a heart attack. “It was just his time,” she said. “He was a man of great integrity and honor, and a family man who trusted God. That’s the best legacy you can have.” Luing was appointed dean at age 32 in 1969, at that time becoming the youngest in Florida to serve in the post. In 1971, Luing and Darab Unwalla, Ph.D., started an executive master’s program in business administration, one of the first in the country. Luing built the foundation that later propelled the college to establish itself as a national brand. In the early 1980s, Luing oversaw the then-College of Business and Public Administration’s first accreditation by the American Assembly of Colleges
