Joseph Ruce Kan

Joe, I miss our good times and the good physics in Fairbanks. Take care, wherever you are!

Joe, I shall never forget the hours we spent together in Fairbanks and elsewhere. Charlie Kennel

I continue to remember the good times and interesting research Joe and I shared at the Geophysical Institute

As I approach my own 82nd birthday, I look back at the good science in Fairbanks and the wonderful times Ellen and I spent in the magnificent State of Alaska in the company of friends, especially Joe.

Dear Rosalind, Christina, Deborah, and Steven,

I very recently heard about uncle Joseph's passing. His image and voice shall always be a part of my good childhood memories. If there is anything I can help, let me know.

Dear Rosalind,
My deepest condolences to you and your family during this time of sorrow. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Rosalind, Christina, Deborah, and Steven, I am so very sorry to learn of your loss. I have happy memories of my years as your family's piano teacher. I pray for God's comfort for you all. Karen Johnson

Please accept my sincere condolences. May you remain strong as a family and find comfort and peace in God who is near to all those calling upon him. 1 Peter 5: 6,7

Joe always challenged us to expand our horizons in physics. He was ornery at times, but that caused us to evaluate our own approaches more seriously. I especially enjoyed our discussions at Geophys after his retirement. He published some key papers in that time regarding the initiation of the auroral substorm, and that was exciting. My wife and I extend our condolences to Rosalind and his family.
