Not sure what to say?

The hope in your name has so far eluded the world you left behind. Wish it were otherwise, John.

I´ll never forget Judgment or the artist who made it.

Judgment by John Safer (Harvard University)

We were in our late 80's when we became friends. Even so, I will miss him as if we had been friends for a lifetime. Our friendship began when I discovered his remarkable sculpture Judgment on the grounds of Harvard University. I have written about that encounter In a book on Modernism that will appear later this year. I had no idea that what I wrote would be a memorial to John. My heartfelt sympathies to his wife, Joy, and his children.

Your fine work at the National Air and Spaced Museum has always been an inspiration to me.

Please allow me to extend my deepest condolences towards you and your family. I know this is a difficult time. May you find comfort in knowing your Heavenly Father cares for your family. Cherish your memories and look forward to the day He promises to reunite us with our dear loved ones. (1Thessalonians 4:14)

Very sorry for the lost of your loved one May God the hearer of prayers comfort you during this difficult time and give you strength. 2 cor. 1:4

My condolences to the Safer family for the loss of your dear loved one. May you be strengthened with all power...so that you may endure fully with patience and joy during your grieving process.
