Roland André Delattre

Dear Judy, I have just heard about Roland's passing and am very sad to know he's gone. He was one of my professors in the 1980s and I have always thought fondly of him. Working with him on the Swedish Summer Seminar was a special part of my graduate student days.

Dear Judy,
With great sorrow we have learned that our dear friend Roland is no longer among us. Over the many years that have passed since we got to know each other we had a great communication. Roland will always stay in our minds.
God bless you and your family.

Roland was a highly esteemed colleague and fellow student of that theologian of beauty, JE.

His living and his passing were "beautiful." I miss him.

Dear Ms. Engel and the Delattre Family,
I just recently learned of Dr. Delattre's recent passing and the news brough me much sorrow. Roland served as an "outside reader" on my dissertation committee in philosophy at the University of Minnesota. While my contact with him was relatively brief, I was deeply touched by his love of life, his love of his family, and his love of learning. I still have fond memories of his telling me about his apartment that he lived in and the apartment that he worked in down the hall. Such a wonderful person leaves a large hole when gone, but may memories of Roland's love and joy for you and for life sustain you in your time of grief. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Sharing in your sorrow,

Judy,

I just heard of Roland's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Cherished friend and highly regarded colleague, the years with Roland, first at Miami U. and then at the U. of TN in Knoxville (1963-1974), were incomparable in terms of intellectual stimulation, conversational provocation, and personal warmth. His work on Jonathan Edwards remains among the best. A hotly contested game of tennis anyone?

Judy, we think of you often. Roland's death leaves a space in our lives, especially yours and your family's. We are honored to be your friends. Caroline and Eric

Nous sommes tous très attristés de la mort de Roland, notre proche cousin que l'éloignement ne nous permettait pas de voir souvent ; mais nous en parlions souvent, les photos étaient là pour témoigner des liens de cette grande famille.
Toutes nos pensées à la famille américaine de Roland.

Dear Judith and family of Roland: I just heard the news and am saddened for your loss. I wish I could have been at the memorial. I send you my loving and caring thoughts for this loss in your lives.

During the early 1980's I came to know Roland as one of my running buddies at the U of M. He, Ted Lanpher and I often ran together on Sunday mornings before church, when we shared things of the soul.

When I married my wife Connie on February 19, 1983, Roland was my best man at our ceremony at St Phillips Lutheran in Fridley. Even though our ways parted in recent years, I shall always remember Roland as a very dear and supportive friend.

Roland was my good friend and fellow student at Yale from 1958 to 1961 and then my cherished colleague at Miami and Tennessee, 1963-1975. His faithful conversation will remain forever dear to me.

Judy, Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. No two people were ever better suited than you and Roland. The memories will sustain you. We love you dearly. Sally and Louie

Blessings, Judy, as you, your loved ones, our First Church Family, and Roland's many friends bid a fond farewell to a special man who left this world too soon. May your heart be warmed by the presence of loving, caring folks on Monday.
Sincerely, BEV

Judy, I went to the Aster Cafe yesterday for lunch. While I was there I remembered you being the person who first brought me there, on one of our delightful river walks. so of course, I held you close in my heart, feeling so grateful of the love we share. Bev left a message and that's how I learned of Roland's transition. Otherwise, I wasn't aware he was sick. I'm sorry for your loss. I wish you peace of mind and spirit, and I pray your angel, Paul is holding you now, and greeting Roland in luminous bliss. May you continue to recognize all the love that IS.

With Loving Kindness,
Sarah Elizabeth

I did enjoy meeting Pierre & Roland, one upon a time in France in the family 's house of Eva DELATTRE ten years ago.
All my sympathies & thoughts to the family.
I still remember this nice meeting.
Best Regards, from France.

Eric & Family - We were saddened to hear of the passing of your dad. Though we had never met him, it seems he lived a very full and happy life. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

All four of us will miss Roland. His love of dance and French music brought us to his wonderful acquaintence. He did indeed live a "charmed life" as he often said and we will remember him.

Roland has been my dad's best friend for decades. His passing will leave a huge hole in our hearts. Our thoughts are with Judy and the rest of your family.

You have my sympathies, my thoughts and prayers are with you now. Jane Zingale
