Not sure what to say?

Oh Bonnie my heart hurts for you. The pain never goes away but somehow we learn to live with the pain. God Bless you and your family. my love to you and also I still miss you at school and think of you often!!

we were very sad to only learn of mr sitz passing today. he was a long time customer of our copyshop both as a proffesor and with the izzak walton league. he was a pleasurte to talk to in the shop or when i would see him in the mornings when getting my coffee. it was an honor to say i knew him.

I was a PhD student at the time where Dr. Sitz was doing RNA related work. Although I was not his student he though me a lot about RNA and showed me some important tips that I was missing. He was a very nice person as well as a nice teacher. I miss him and will always remember him. I hope that he will be in peace.

Dear Sitz Family,

I knew Dr. Sitz briefly, but he was a great man. I was asked to guest lecture in his classes last year and I am getting ready to do the same again this week. He appeared to have a great rapport with his students and other faculty. His energy and sense of humor will be missed.

With Deepest Sympathy,

Dear Sitz Family: My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family at this time. I Knew Dr. Sitz through the Preceptor ship the last 2 1/2 years at MRH. He was a good man and I enjoyed working with him. I know that he enjoyed working with the students and gave him great joy to know that they were actually absorbing the knowledge and that he helped in some way.

Mrs. Sitz,
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dearest Bonnie, Molly, Scott, Rachel, Sarah, little Thomas, Uncle John and the entire Sitz family,

We send our love and prayers from Colorado to all of you in Virginia this weekend. We are thinking of you constantly and love you very much. Ed and I are saddened that Tom is no longer with us but we admire him so for many things. It was so evident how much he loved all of you, he led a life of integrity and he fought his cancer quietly and bravely every single day. He sure did make...

Dear Bonnie and Molly,

There are no words to adequately express my grief on the loss of Tom. He was a man who is counted amongst the Good and Great. It was when I interviewed in 1985 for a faculty position in the Biochemistry Department, that I first knew of Tom’s kindness and the pleasure of conversing with him. I had the privilege of working with him over the next four years as we developed a curriculum on HIV, and also lectured throughout Virginia on that subject. Tom had the...
