My Heartfelt Condolences to the entire Duda Family. Vicnaja Jemu Pamjat/Memory Eternal. I had been in contact with Larry for a couple of years due to genealogy tracing of our families -- his grandfather and my grandmother were brother and sister. I had not had the opportunity to meet Larry personally and regret that will not come to pass. One comes to the realization too late that keeping touch with family means more than anyone can imagine!!!

My sympathy at your loss. May your memories of times together lead to many smiles. We have Duda's in our family in Perth Amboy NJ and we are also from Jakubany.

My regards to the Duda family. Dr. Duda was the best professor in the college, and was voted so for the reason that he truly cared for the students. He made a wonderful impact on me; I shall never forget the AIChE meeting in Washington D.C. the year after I graduated. Dr. Duda introduced me to the head of the ChE Dept. at MIT, and later AIChE Chairman. He had time for me, even if I wasn't at the top of my class. For that, and his kind, humerous ways, I am forever indebted. Rest in...

My thoughts and prayers are with you. As a former student, I can attest to his overwhelming kindness and the number of lives he inspired.

To my friend John and his entire family. I'm very sorry for your loss. What a fabulous legacy your father and husband leaves for his family, friends, and students. Sincerely, Web Ross

My deepest sympathies are extended to Dr. John Duda(PADRECC) and the entire Duda Family. Earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal;I pray that you find peace in knowing that your loved one is no longer suffering. May God's grace and peace comfort you at this time.

Deepest sympathies to the entire Duda family at this difficult time. You have every reason to be proud of such a fine and successful man. I have nothing but fond memories of him, and will always remember all of the fun times we shared at the Penn State football games.
Dr. Duda leaves the world a better place, through his research, his students, and most importantly his family. God Bless.

Heartfelt condolences to the Duda family from everyone in the Department of Neurology at the University of Pennsylvania, where Dr. John D is a valued member of the faculty.

Larry's openness about his dyslexia has been an inspiration to a family member. His larger-than-life personality and quick wit will be missed. The Chemical Engineering staff really enjoyed the slide shows he presented of his many travels.
