Not sure what to say?

I miss Dr. Coon very much and have been praying for him. He was a very caring mentor for me.

My heartfelt condolences to the family at the passing of Dr. "Jud" Coon. I did my PhD and postdoctoral with him at the University of Michigan in the mid 1980's and remember him fondly as a fine scientist, ambassador, and friend. He will be missed and remembered. May God bless him in eternity for the great good he did here on Earth.


Please accept my sincere condolences to the Coon family and friends. The loss of a loved one is never easy.May the God who gives us comfort during this most difficult Astime provide you with the comfort you need.
We look forward to Gods promise to end sickness and death.
May you have confidence and comfortin the fulfillment of his promises.John 17:3.

One of the women Jud encouraged in science--my mother, Alice Campbell

Dr. Coon was the PhD advisor for my mother, Alice Campbell. She has always been very proud to have earned the degree, and worked as a scientist for more than 50 years after that. She enjoyed receiving Christmas cards each year from Jud. What an accomplished and generous life Jud led, and ahead of his time encouraging women in science. Heartfelt condolences to the family.
