Dear Lou Anne and Family,
Please accept our condolences on your loss. I learned a lot from Gordon at the fluid dynamics seminar and enjoyed his friendship and his ribbing. I was glad to have a chance to visit him at St V's at the end of July.

To the Branche family. It was both an honor and a joy to have been able to have the pleasure of having Grumpy in my life. His witty humor always made me laugh. I am very thankful for the time we spent together. He was a wonderful man who touched so many lives. He will be deeply missed. My heart felt condolences go out to the entire family.
