Charles M. "Buddy" Neviaser, a long-time friend and financial supporter of the University of North Florida, passed away July 13 of causes related to cancer.
Neviaser, who was 83, was a philanthropist during his lifetime who donated not only to UNF, but also to a number of organizations in and around Jacksonville.
Neviaser funded several scholarships for students in different areas of interest at UNF. He also donated money extensively to Community Hospice of Northeast Florida.
The majority of Neviaser's professional life was marked by attempts to help others in many capacities. He is survived by his wife, Doris Neviaser, who was instrumental in caring for others alongside her husband.
