All of us from the Class of '73 remember him fondly and respectfully. Our hearts are with you. With Love, Beth Reichard Herbst and husband John Herbst, both from Dallastown, class of '73.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Rossell as a student assistant in Mason Hall while attending GMU. His committment to the university was unparalleled and I always admired him. May you find peace in your memories.

I would like to extend my personal sympathies and that of my wife to Sue at this time. Our prayers will be with you now and in the days ahead. I found David to be a great guy and one of the "spouses" of Lightfoot that made me feel right at home during my time at Orange County. May the Spirit of God bless you and keep you Sue from now and each day forward.

I was a student at GMU who had Professor Rossell as an instructor. He was by far my favorite professor, I never missed his class. My sympathies to you and your family on your loss of a fine man.

Dear Sue, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family now. I have thought of you and Dave often during my Dad's illness and recent passing; always asking Mom how Dave was doing. I was so saddened to hear today of his passing. In the midst of Dave's own illness Dave always sent my Dad the most lovely cards to keep his spirits up - what a wonderful person Dave is. I will always remember his kindness. Regards, Michele (Gozikowski) Brennan
