Charles L. "Chuck" Rhykerd Sr.

I'm sorry to hear of this turn of events. I only met Mr. Rhykerd a year and a half ago when my mother (Ann Hankins) and I visited West Lafayette in May 2017. He and my dad, B.J. Hankins, were colleagues and friends during Dad's time at Purdue between 1964-1979. During our trip, my mom and I had lunch with Mr. & Mrs. Rhykerd, and it was such a pleasant visit! I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him. What a special person he was. My sympathies go with his family and loved ones. I'd love to...

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

As a long-time student / friend / colleague of Chuck's, I feel so VERY lucky to visited just the Sunday before his passing!

My condolences to Eileen Rhykerd and family at the passing of Prof. Rhykerd...my thoughts and prayers are with you....

Rob,
I'm so sorry to read about your father's passing. I am sure he must have been enormously proud of you. Prayers that you are sustained by many happy memories and the love of family and friends.
