It is always sad to hear of such a great loss, as this man touched the hearts and minds of so many with a caring hand, and that will endure.

My heartfelt condolences to the Süer family. This is an unimaginable loss of a great human being and as a former student of Dr. Süer, I stand with you in support.

His love for life and family was a joy to behold. A rare breed of intellect and kindness, his warmth and empathy lit up many a dreary winter day in school. He sets high expectations that can seem very tough but he taught us that we should expect greater things from ourselves. He has the knack of being kind and gentle, in...

Dr. Süer was the first person I met from the ISE Department before being officially accepted into the department. At that time, I was still in OPIE and was planning to apply to enter the ISE department and not sure who to talk to.

I met him while playing soccer in Ping Center, and I accidentally kick the ball at him. He was gracious enough to let me talk to him afterward and accept my apology while joking around about it.

I still remember when I had to go to a conference...

Ayse and Lara,
I was deeply saddened when I learned of the passing of your husband and father, Gursel. I know that his passing is a very great loss to you and the rest of your family. Please know that I am thinking about you.
It was always so good to see you together as a close and loving family at events like the concert series at OU.
My sincere sympathy. May God bless you and hold you close in His loving care today and every day.

I’m so sad to hear of Dr. Suer’s passing. He was an amazing teacher, helping me to obtain my MS in Engineering, but also a delightful person, always offering any help he might offer as I moved forward in my career. We would see each other at various events around Athens since I graduated 11 years ago, and it was always a joy to have a conversation with him and catch up. My deepest condolences go out to the family at this time.

I still can’t believe that Dr. Suer is no more. He was such a wonderful person with a heart full of compassion. He played a vital role in my life. He gave me an opportunity and believed in me. His legacy will last forever among his students whose life he has changed for better. My deepest condolences to Suer family (Ayse, Ozan, Roman, Lara), we pray to the Almighty to rest his soul in peace.
