My heart-felt sympathies to the Karplus family. I worked with Henry many years. A great expert in acoustics and I learnt a lot from him. Henry and Jean came to my wedding at Oak Park. Rest in peace. --Sami Gopalsami

My deepest condolences to the Karplus family. I knew Henry from the shul in Westchester, but only saw him on the High Holy days. I never knew of his history as a refugee or his educational and career history. He made the most of his life. May his name be for a blessing.

My deepest sympathy to all of the family. I was a friend of your mother from Grace Church. I visited your parents during your mothers final illness and was always touched by their relationship. My parents, Martin and Marion Salmon knew your parents through IITRI. Your parents lived amazing lives. Betsy Salmon Miller
