Not sure what to say?

It was a pleasure teaching with Dr Spertzel. He is certainly missed

I just learned today of Mr Spertzel's passing. I heard from him every year at Christmas & when no note came this year I was saddened to learn why. I worked with him 1994-98 at UNSCOM, where he tirelessly sought the truth under extremely difficult conditions. He is missed by all who knew him. My sincere belated condolences to his family and many friends.

Sincerest condolences to the family from one of his York Springs High School classmates, Carole (Koons) Williams, class of '51.

Thinking of you; sorry for your loss.

Our deepest sympathies for your loss. He was a great man who served his country well throughout his life. Our program would not be the same without his contributions.

Dick, you will be missed. My deepest condolences to the family.

We've lost a national hero for his work countering worldwide WMD. May he rest in peace!
