Prof. Cerny was one of my heroes. Of course I knew of the family from my days at O'Connell High School 1964 to 1968 but our friendship began when I started to work in the GU Registrar's Office in 1973. Karl was always a gentleman and he epitomized what it means to be a scholar-teacher. I always admired him for those qualities and for all the many things he did for Georgetown University. May God bless and console all in the Cerny family. And may Karl have eternal rest.

I fondly recall Dr. Cerny's government class when I was a freshman at Georgetown many years ago. He was one of the best professors I had there and a real gentleman. I'm glad to know he had a long life. May he rest in peace.
