ALAN JAY LAZARUS

Dear Marianne:

My belated sympathy to you and your daughter on the loss of the most gentle man I ever had the pleasure of knowing and working with. I just learned of his passing.

In the early 1970s I interviewed with, and was hired to work for this extraordinary human being. It was during my years as his secretary in offices at the Center for Space Research that I was lucky enough to be witness to your meeting him and his falling madly in love with you. I believe ar that time...

Dear Mrs. Lazarus,

I just learned of Alan's passing and extend to you and your family my condolences. Alan's career as a scientist is not surprising - as a boy he showed great interest in that field.

'Way back in the 1940's, Alan was a Boy Scout in Troop 14, San Francisco. I was an Assistant Scoutmaster at that time and I remember Alan as an active member of the troop. He attended the troop's High Sierra camp as well as other Scouting activities.

My sympathies are...

Thank you for your incredible contributions to physics- and to education.

Dear Alan,
We miss you! Your death is a loss to so many.
Dear Marianne,
We are so sad to hear of Alan's passing. We are remembering our visit with you two, was it last summer? I shared the MIT obituary with Bill and Steve and sent it to our grandson Adam and his girlfriend Jessica as well
I remember Alan so fondly as far back as my early high school Physics which he managed so kindly and gently to help me with.
I'm sure you and Julie have had a rough time over the past year....

Marianne......my name is Carrie and although I live in NY I was touched by the beautiful write up on your husband of 43 years. My heart goes out to you and I always find such comfort in the thought that God is close to the broken hearted. I hope you find comfort at this difficult time.

Dear Alan,
Darinka and I are very saddened about your passing away. You and I worked together for about 30 years. We were working together on IMPS and Voyager missions at MIT and later when I went to BU we we continue to work together on Wind missions etc. WE HAD GREAT SCIENTIFIC COLLABORATOR WHICH I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED. While working together on Wind you collaborated with my graduate students at BU. They and I always enjoyed your visits with John Steinberg when you came to the meetings....
