Memories and Condolences
for Roy Landrum

Not sure what to say?





So glad to have received the reminder email from legacy ... I must have read your dad's full obituary in 2015, but I don't remember reading that he was first a physicist! You know that my dad was a physicist, too, Melissa, right? I get happy when I see the word 'physicist,' because every single person I've ever known, who likes physics, every one of them, without exception, has been a uniquely wonderful, unusual, quirky, especially interesting, character, living a uniquely interesting life. Your dad certainly appears to fit this description ... physics, engineering, law, and a judgeship ... what a wonderful and unpredictable combination. I sure wish I could have met him, what an interesting man, your dad. Lucky you for having him as a father, and all my condolences (and GB's too of course) for your loss.
