My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. I was privileged to be one of the students in Dr. Culver's initial Hebrew class at Erskine Seminary. His passion for teaching was exceeded only by his love of the Word and his family and friends. His absence will be felt deeply; I will cherish the memories of him as an encouraging mentor, and rejoice at his kingdom arrival. May your memories bring you comfort for sharing him so briefly with us all. God's blessings for your sorrow.
