I did my first stint as a teaching assistant under Darrell Frohrib at University of Minnesota in 1990. He was a wonderful role model and a kind man. I remember a lovely farewell dinner for a fellow student in his home with his lovely wife Betty.
Top notch fellow!

I had never met Mr. Frohrib but I know his Son Paul. Paul and his sisters are a great example of what a good man and father he must have been. Paul would talk about how he loved to work with his hands and the attention to detail that would be included in all his projects. I am sure there are many students out there that have benefited from his enthusiastic teaching of a subject he loved! My condolences to the Paul and his Family. Sincerely Bill

Darrell A. Frohrib my advisor and mentor!
I knew Darrell since my arrival in the US in 1968; he and Art Erdman were my PhD research co-advisors. I found in Darrell a very kind, warm, and understanding advisor and human being, to whom I could turn any time for guidance and assistance, on matters ranging from academic concerns to that which would help me to better assimilate into this new, foreign land.
My years in Minnesota were enriched by the academic advising and mentoring received from Darrell Frohrib and Art Erdman throughout my years at the university. These served me well in my academic career at Penn State, Purdue, and now at Missouri S&T (formerly University of Missouri-Rolla).
During holiday seasons, Darrell and his gracious family were wonderful hosts to graduate students at their warm and welcoming home, and Betty would have cooked up a storm filling their home with sumptuous and mouth-watering aromas. This 'home away from home' made being a graduate student so much more enjoyable and easier to bear through the years. I shall always cherish such fond memories of Darrell. I am deeply saddened by his departure. May God bless his soul!

When I interviewed for my faculty position in March, 1985, Darrell, along with Emil Pfender, took me to dinner. It was at the old Blue Horse Restaurant in St. Paul. I was coming from Stanford, and both the restaurant and the Twin Cities seemed a combination of old fashioned and highly cultured, almost exotic. I remember Darrell as an exceptionally gracious host, with a great sense of humor. He helped to give me a view of the ME Department as welcoming and collegial, and of the Twin Cities as a great place to live. The Frohrib family has my sincere condolences.
