Rustum Roy

I send Love to Rusty's beautiful wife and family. He made such an impact on so many lives. He always wanted to know more. He loved research and sharing his knowledge with others. He brightened up the room with his laugh and his smile. He is missed very much. May we all be together some day to celebrate.

You are still here,...as long as we remember you. Thinking of you Rustum. Thank you for everything you did for me.

Some of us leave State College, PA. Penn State goes with us when we leave. Professor Roy has been with me every day since I last left his classroom. His light has been a seminal force in my life. Pure light and goodness. Thank you Professor Roy.

I've listen to his great man on the property of water and I wish I had the opportunity to meet him..May god bless his family....

Reading this brought fond memories to my heart and tears to my eyes. What a great picture of Rustum.... My sincere condolences to Della, Ron, Jeremy and Neill. God Bless you all.

My sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Rustum Roy. May all rest secure in the assurance that Rustum will live on through those lives he has touched in all so many ways. He was a friend.
