I do remember him as a wonderful husband to my friend Rita, I graduated with in Cologne, 1968 as well as a very caring host when the chattering and loud laughing ladies from Cologne invaded the wonderful mansion in Somerset, New Jersey. He always kept composure. So sorry that he left my beloved friend Rita & his son behind. I do hope for Jo that his last journey was peaceful. Irene Schartmann , Cologne, Germany

Dr. Messing never liked to be called Doctor, only Jo. What a humble human being. I often remember the lab meetings and monthly birthday cakes as we worked hard to contribute to the Maiz, Rice and sorghum genome. Herr Messing war ein guter Mentor, Danke schoen Jo, Ruhe in Frieden.
