Not sure what to say?

I have just been informed of Timothy's passing.

As a student and close friend of his in the 1970's, I cannot say how saddened I am by his untimely demise.

To his wonderful mother, Charlotte, and his very close brother, Jeffrey (whose Celtic pin I still wear and cherish), my deepest condolences and heartfelt sorrow over the untimely death of this brilliant man.

My condolence, also, to the wife and son he has left behind.

As a former student of Dr. Gantz, I want to express my sincerest condolences to his family.

Even in Canada I am bound to the relationships made in the Classics Department at Georgia. Professor Gantz was such an important part of that community. I know he will be missed beyond measure. My thoughts and sympathy go out to all whose lives were influenced by Professor Gantz, most especially his family.

With condolences

With sincere sympathy.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry to hear of Timothy's passing. I enjoyed working with him over the last decade and will miss his perspective. He was such a warm and thoughtful man.

Much sympathy to Dr. Gantz's family.

With sympathy for a great classics professor
