How can I think of my childhood without The lashof family. The memories I have of Dick are right in thr forfront. Most people thought of him as really quit, and I guess he was in the room with the rest of you..... but to me he was always the really nice with the big lap to sit on in the big group. You and Dick were such great friends to my parents, I am speech less. He is have a great time with them now.... If any of you are ever in my area look me up
with all my love

Dick Lashof was my doctoral adviser at the University of Chicago. He was a very fine person. My condolences to his family.

Joyce--So very sorry to learn of the death of your husband. I think about you everytime I pass our local hospital-- which only in recent months has adopted a "smoke free" policy-- and touts it with billboards! I recall frequent animated discussions with you --in Springfield, on that very subject. I am a lifelong non smoker! I will not be able to be present for the celebration of his life. Please understand, you and your family have my deepest sympathy.
