Dr. Anthony P. Gythiel

Dr Gythiel remains to be one of my most favorite teachers of all time. Every time I got to Wichita, I made sure to look for him and visit. I last visited his home six years ago. He and his wife kindly served me some food. While attending WSU, I made sure that I had taken every class that he taught. It's been a pleasure knowing you. You will be greatly missed. My most sincere condolences go out to your family. I'm sorry I had no idea you had passed away a year ago . . .

We just saw Tony's name in the Univ of Detroit Alum Mag. I was in Grad School with him from 1963-65 and when we asked him to marry us in December '65, he delayed his official withdrawal from the priesthood to do so. So smart, warm and amusing a friend and human being. We extend belated prayers to his widow. Jack and Nancy Hussey

It was an honor to have Dr. Gythiel as one of my professors. He was an amazing man, a repository of knowledge, and maybe most importantly -- a man who lived history and taught its lessons to others. My heart goes out to his family, and to his WSU family as well.

I treasured my associations and friendship with Tony and always stood in awe of his scholarship, integrity and decency. He was a colleague, friend, and much respected scholar. He was as a medieval scholastic would say "mirable visu" - "wonderful to behold!"

Dana, I am just now seeing the death notice of Tony my thoughts and prayers are with you. Helen Gadbury (Ken's helper in harvest--Burke's care taker)

Dana, condolences and prayers . May Dr.Gythiel rest in peace.

Dana, please accept my heartfelt sympathy and condolences on your loss of Tony. He was truly a man's man and I truly enjoyed my friendship with him =!

Dana,

My thoughts and prayers are with you. It truly was wonderful to be part of the family and getting to know you and Tony. May you know the peace and comfort that comes from Christ. Hugs, Jody Jorns

Professor Gythiel was the most faithful, in all senses of the word, colleague one could ever hope to have: he attended every theater event organized by WSU's French section and offered his steadfast support of our mission in other ways impossible to summarize... Our thoughts and prayers are with the Gythiel family now and evermore. Modern & Classical Languages.
