Not sure what to say?

Very sorry to hear of this loss. My deepest condolences to his family. He was one of the greatest professor's I ever had, as a current University professor I find myself repeating his ways in my classes.
A great soul.

So sorry to hear of the loss of Dr. Nitzsche. He was one of the best teachers and he had such a great sense of humor when he taught me at Parks. I have often remarked through the years of how much better the class and my grades were when the teacher was personable and engaging, and Dr. Nitzsche was such the teacher and he should be the mold for teachers everywhere. My prayers go out for him and for his family. Rest in Peace.

My condolences and prayers to Dr. Nitzsche's family. Dr. Nitzche was one of my professors at SLU / Parks College and was definitely an influence. His classes were memorable as well as his tests.

May he Rest In Peace and may God bless you all.

I am very sorry to hear of this loss. He was a wonderful educator, SLU alumni in Madrid still remember him and tell stories about his classes.
I wish all the strength for the family.

Mitzie,
We were deeply saddened to learn of Ray's passing. He brought laughter and joy to all those were fortunate enough to know him. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Ray and I hired into Caterpillar at the same time, and worked together in the early years. He was so down to earth and so much fun to work with. My sympathy to the family. May God bless you all.
