Though many years have passed, I'm sorry to learn of Mr. Sussillo's passing. He was a wonderful High School teacher with the mind of a steel trap. He effortlessly remembered his student's names many years after graduation. I will always remember him.

Joe, I'm sorry to hear of Gerry's passing. On what ever occasion Gerry visited, it was always more fun with him around. I sometimes wonder if he really understood how much he made people laugh. May he rest in peace.

Joe, I am so sad to learn of Gerry's death. I will be in NYC the 18th-24th and I was planning to bring him the info on the Stanford Library that we talked about last month. I will miss him.
