Dr. Will R. Getz

I send my heart full of condolences to you all. I stumbled across this news today. Dr. Getz was one of my Professors at NCA&T. I worked for him in the Genetics Lab and Farm. My family lived around the corner at McKnight Mill Rd. He is the teacher who most influenced my path along with so many others. I was admitted to NCSU Vet School largely due to the opportunity and experiences there. I cannot begin to imagine how many lives he touched and influenced all around the world. My prayers are...

I enjoyed working with Dr. Getz and my condolences to his family.

I will miss Dr. Getz, He showed me how education is needed to develop better agriculture method and applications. I heart is sadden at the lose of my favorite undergrad teachers, mentor, counselor and friend. Miss You More than You Know Dr. Getz.

Natalie, we are keeping you all in our prayers. Your dad lived a very full, rich life, and it appears he has touched many other lives.

Dr. Getz will be missed. One of my favorite teachers at Fort Valley State University, he definitely love his job of teaching about agriculture and animals. My condolences to his family and friends!

Liz & Michael, Your family is in my thoughts & prayers. Will was a good man.

Dr. Getz - A true gentleman and scholar. My condolences to his family.

This man's warmth and intelligence had touched the lives of so many he came in contact with. Few people we meet in life leave lasting impressions like he did. I was enamored with his character and will never forget our talks about New England and family.

I met Will thru my Volunteer work with children in various Ag programs in South West Georgia. We had an annual ritual of meeting each year at the Sunbelt Ag Expo, where we broke bread together and shared a few stories and laughs. He graciously accepted three invitations to lecture to our sheep breeders association at my farm where he was a resource to new start farmers. He was passionate about helping others thru science and research. I will miss him, and hope that his family is comforted...
