Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Only met Dr. Justin a few weeks ago but really enjoyed talking and learning about your family and the friendships with my Uncle Craig Park and Scope. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I was so sorry to hear about Dr Aurbach’s passing-I worked for Dr. Aurbach 1977-1978 in his office at the Douglas Building. He was one of the kindest and most caring individuals I have ever meant. It was an honor to have the opportunity to know him. I am so sorry for your loss- My sympathy goes out to The Aurbach Family–
As a member of the Center for Physical Activity and Aging at Wichita State University for the past 10+ years, Fred was a true inspriation to all older adults. His dedication to his personal fitness illustrated the capabilities of those well into their golden years. He also served as an inspiration to younger WSU students who were honored to have worked with him. I will truly miss Fred, his friendly smile and unique sense of humor. Dr. Ruth Bohlken Director, WSU Center for Physical Activity and Aging.
Dearest family, sincerest condolences on your loss. I met Uncle Fred at my Aunt Rosalynn’s during Erin’s wedding, and I’m proud to call him family. I’m Lena Marilynn’s older son, Adam. My prayers are with you; please let me know if there’s anything I can be of assistance with.
I lost a good friend, buddy, former client, and fellow Military Officers Association member. Even in our advanced ages, we enjoyed talking about our parents and our families for hours. Most of the time our conversations would end with ‘ GOD be with you.’ MAY HIS MEMORY BE ETERNAL.
