My heartfelt condolences Mr. Brown. My heart goes to you and your family. May your father be received in love and grace.

Dear Roger and Family, So sorry to hear that your father has passed.
I hope that the coming days are ones that are filled with love and remembering of all that was good about your father. Sure there will be times that you feel sad but, that is a good thing to. it is all part of this experience. Just yesterday after you spoke to the faculty I played at our department meeting and I played a piece that I had played at my mother's funeral almost two years ago. It was all I could do just to keep my composure. They are always with us. That is the way it should be.

Warmest thoughts and deepest sympathies to you and your family, Roger. Having lost my own remarkable mother in July, I am still quite sensitive to what you are feeling and I know how deep it goes. Your father is yet another example of why that was the "greatest generation", and I love that he spent his life building highways and bridges, which is itself a great metaphor for a life well lived.

Our thoughts go out to you and your family, Roger.

Dear Roger and Mrs. Brown,
I was deeply saddened to hear of Mr. Brown's death. He was always very supportive of me; he extended me many opportunities, was patient with me, and taught me a lot. He was a very generous and gracious man. I think of him often, probably more frequently than you might imagine. While it has been some time since I last shared his company, I most usually conjure his image when I am facing some difficult task involving engineering, business, or fair dealings with my fellow man. I don't expect his passing to interfere with his value to me, only to make it more poignant. I wish I could be there with you right now.

Dear Roger,
My heart and friendship reach out to you, Linda, and the rest of your family in the loss of your Dad. I enjoyed reading about his many accomplishments, skills, and devotion to your family. As a role model, he was extraordinary. I thank him for his influence in your life, and how you, too, have impacted the lives of so many. May your faith in God give you strength, and may your precious memories comfort you during the quiet corners of the day when you miss your Dad the most. Sending you love and prayers, Vivian Beard

Dear Roger,

I offer my condolences on the passing of your father. He seems he led a wonderful life, and instilled the right values in his children. They say that a son losing a father is one of life's great transitions. A piece of you is taken away, and you can feel the emptiness. I lost my father in 2010 at the age of 97, and certainly felt that.  It's amazing that both our fathers were Seabees--yours coming from a small town in Georgia, and mine from an Italian immigrant family in New Haven. I bet if they had met, they would have hit it off, having many values in common! 

Your father went on to do many great things and improve the world. It is said that one cannot die well (something we all face) if one has not lived well. Clearly your father did both, and one cannot ask for more than that. Please give my best wishes to your family as well.
Om Shanti shanti....Marc Rossi

I'm sending my condolences to you and your family on the loss of your father. I was moved, like so many others, by what you shared about him in our gathering at BTOT yesterday. We are all experiencing some of his inspiration and energy through your work and presence here, and are grateful for it. I lost my father a few months ago, and it adds to my sympathy for the difficult transition that a father's passing brings to a son and family. Wishing you and your family peace and togetherness in this time,

May his memory be a blessing.

Roger and Linda,
I went through the passing of my mother in September so I know a little about what you are experiencing. Like others have said, your dad must have been an inspiring and amazing man to have raised a son like you. I'll keep your dad and your family in my prayers.
Warmest regards

Dear Roger;

I am truly heart broken because I love you so much not merely as a president but
as an exceptional human being, who loves human beings.
I too lost my accomplished father at a very young age, and I miss him dearly.
Remember that your father's soul is present, it is only his body, which has
died, because the body is subject to death, whereas the soul is deathless, as
we learned from the great Egyptian thinkers.

So enjoy your father's soul, which will always reach out to you.

Love
