Not sure what to say?

Gloria,

I just found out that Martin passed, my sincerest condolences to you, may he rest in peace.

Sorry to hear of Martin's passing. John and I spoke of you all often. Martin as John's adviser and my caring for Daniel. May you take comfort in your memories of Martin as husband, friend and father.

I was able to learn from Martin at our SAMED meetings. He was brilliant and I was grateful to have gotten to know him. My deepest sympathy.

Dear Gloria - we were in Utah when we got word of Martin's passing. Please know that I've been thinking of you and praying that your memories of your life with your soulmate, will help comfort you and ease the pain of his passing. I wish I had known him better. Lovingly -

What a great loss to our community. Condolences to our friend, Gloria and her family.

For my late wives, Susan & Joanne, and for our entire family: we shall all miss Martin. And the entire Greater University area will also; his thought, effort and devotion to its improvement and growth were outstanding. He was an admirable contributor to our neighborhood!

Gloria, I was shocked to read of Martin's death on Syracuse.com. We are in So. Carolina; if I was home, I would attend the calling hours. I will be in touch with you when I return. Martin was a valuable member of our landowners committee of the Dune Coalition and had many insightful suggestions. We will miss him. I am thinking of you and will keep you in my prayers.

I want to offer my condolences to Martin's family -- I knew him through his involvement with the Syracuse Chapter of the AAUP -- he took an active role for many years, and I always valued his guidance and his judgment. He was an advocate for shared governance and for academic freedom, in addition to being a well-respected scholar. He also found time to pursue his many interests and to support many local activities. The campus community and the local arts committee will miss him very much,...

Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
