Wow, those are good genes. And I thought my 99 1/2 year-old grandfather was impressive...

My condolences for your loss. That brief obituary makes him sound like quite a man.

My condolences and sympathies. Louis Drezner sounds like he was a wonderful man and a superb role model.

Good genes. But we knew that. How precious that he is remembered with so much love. God bless.

Wow, I was just pondering the social importance of family relations and designing one's legacy to one's descendants when I absent-mindedly clicked to your blog--basesd on his obituary, your grandfather sounds like the epitome of a responsible ancestor. My condolences on your loss, but also my congratulations that you had such a man in your life. He must (still) be very inspiring.

It sounds like a great man has been lost, but after he lived a full life and left a fine legacy. My sympathy.

How sad that he died: how great that he lived. Many condolences and best wishes to you and your family, especially his sister.

Sorry for your loss, Dan.

My prayers for you and your family this hour.

Please accept my condolences for your loss.

Sorry, Daniel. No matter his age, I know it's always sooner than you'd like. Even this brief obit made me wish I'd known him. Take care, and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My condolences Dan in your time of loss.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Drezner family.

My condolences to the Drezner family. With genes like those, my great-grandchildren will be reading this blog.

It sounds like he lived a long, and successful life, and you have my sincerest condolences.

You and your family will be in my prayers.

Sorry for your loss, Dan

Please accept my sympathies!

101, thats a good long run at life. From the brief obituary it sounds like he made full use of that time. My condolences on this sad occasion.

Sounds like a fascinating gentleman who saw and did a lot of interesting things; my condolences for your family. The most I ever learned about history outside of books was from my nearly 90-year-old grandafather in the year before he passed away.

May God bless your grandfather. Louis Drezner seemed to have enjoyed a rich and productive life. He is a great example for all of us.

You were blessed to have such a grandfather. My coondolences to you.

"Appalled Moderate"

Like others have said, my condolences to a good man. Given the obituary, I can only say that the life he lived, deserved to be celebrated. I've always loved the irish way of dealing with deaths - celebrating the life, rather than mourning the death, even celebrating the tears that come from feeling the loss of someone special. It has always seemed a profound way to deeply appreciate someone's life.

So, condolences - and a toast - to a life well lived! May we always be so lucky to have around us those people who live fully and well in their lives, and may we strive to be one of those people.

Condolences on your loss: I hope you were able to collect memories from your grandfather to treasure now that he is gone...he sounds as if he quite an exraordinary man.

I'm very sensible of your loss, Professor - as, it would appear, are the whole lot of your regulars. Certainly he was very proud of you.

My condolences, Dan.

My condoleances, Dan.

Condolences on your loss.

Travel safely, and remember that you carry those good genes always (along with wonderful memories).

My condolences on your loss.

Sorry for the loss. Congrats for the opportunity to share in such a life.

My sympathy for your loss is tinged with envy of your having been on intimate terms with a man who sounds quite extraordinary. My best wishes to you and your family.

Dan:
My and my family's condolences.

Sadly, I've lost all of my grandparents. When my mother's mother died - she was the last of my grandparents - it really hit me hard. As we probably all experience, grandparents let us get away with things our parents never would have.

And yet when we disappointed our family by doing something stupid, the hurt that really stung was when we saw the disappointment on their faces. Not just on our parents. But our grandparents.

All grandparents go to Heaven.

My sincere condolences, Dan.

Sorry to sound like a broken record, but you have my sincerest condolences about your grandfather's passing. I hope you and your family stay well.

Dan
Unlike most of the others I don't think condolences are in order. I will congratulate you for the blessing of having this wonderful human being around for as long as you did. There is a loss but I'm sure you were prepared for it and know that he still lives in the wonderful memories you have. I would guess we will all hear from your grandfather again through your writings even though even you may not realize it.

So sorry for your loss, Daniel. I'm sure your fond memories of him will sustain you through this.

We pray that you may be comforted among all the mourners of Israel.

Mr. Drezner: Very sorry for your loss, sir. (Please don't read any disrespect into my pen-name...it's one I always use.) My prayers are with you and your family.
