Not sure what to say?

In my online searching to build my family tree, I have just found this notice. I am so sorry to know that Francois is no longer with us. He was my husband's best man at our wedding in 1983 at the University of Chicago. George studied under Francois, and considered him one of the best humans he ever met.

I was his second graduate student at The University of Chicago. Fran was a wonderful person, an inspiration, and a great scientist. We had many lively discussions about biochemistry, history, family and philosophy. I learned so much from Fran and remember to this day so much of what he taught me. Thanks to Professor John Law, I could not have picked a better person to study under.

My sincerest condolences to his children.

Dr. Kezdy was great a great educator with tremendous wealth of scientific knowledge. He positively shaped the lives of many students including myself during his tenure at the University of Chicago. May his soul rest in peace. My deepest condolences to Dr. Kezdy's family.

Isten Veled, Apafej!

My sincere condolences to Ferenc's family. May the God of peace and comfort be with the family during this most difficult time.

Sending peace to the family of Francois (and Marie) I am grateful to have known such wonderful people. I was fortunate to be their hairstylist for many years and I always loved listening to stories of the grandchildren that they were so proud of...they always asked about my children. They shared stories of when they would dog sit and they always wanted to know how my dogs were. I find peace knowing that Francois and Marie are now together once again.
