Not sure what to say?

We still remember...

First, warmest regards to the family with thanks for the many happy memories you all generated over some 6 decades. You were patients first , then through your neighbor, my medical school class mate Tom Tusing, invited me to tennis across the street. And then it was like having another brother.
What more can I say except a million hugs to each of you and especially Godelivre.

The years have nnot dimmed my wonderful memories of my dear friend and his family including Kiki's french only sister. From Kiki's parties and our not so famous tennis, Jan's {RIP} and my lives were greatly enriched. I believe Michelle and Jean Paul are having a beer on this date

Rest in Peace dear friend of the same country as mine, we only met once in our life at Elisabethville, Katanga 1961.

Please accept Jan's and my belated condolences. We share your sense of loss but treasure the many happy times we has together off and on the tennis court. With great affection for the family. Mack Reynolds

Sincerest condolences to Kee Kee and all the beautiful family! May Mother Mary console you during this time.
I shall miss this lovely soul who always greeted me with a kiss on the hand...
I shall remember him praying the rosary and His devotion to it.
God bless you Kee Kee for the devoted wife you were to him!

Annette Gibson - the lady who came to pray the rosary.

Dear Struelens family,

Prof Struelens was the best professor I ever had -- the only one who worried about teaching his students things they could use in their daily lives as people and professionals. He inspired me throughout our few years of collaboration and was an amazing mentor and guide. I will always keep him in my heart and thoughts.
Condolences to the whole family,

Haleh Bridi (his student in the late 70's-early 80's)

“What we have once enjoyed
and deeply loved we can never lose,
for all that we love deeply becomes a part of us.” – Helen Keller
What an honor it has been to know this man if only for a moment in time. My thoughts and blessings are with the family during this time of loss.

Dearest Struelen Family: our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. God bless you. Our love, the Anthony Spada Family.
