To Professor Korf’s family,
At this difficult time in your life, I pray that our almighty God in Heaven will grant you the strength, tranquillity and peace that you need to get through this sad loss of your beloved. Stay strong and know that you are remembered in my thoughts and prayers. Prof. Korf has been one of my mentors in mycology course at Cornell and though I will miss him dearly, he will never be forgotten, may his soul rest in peace. It is his torch that we, as his students, will always carry all-over in teaching to new generation students that field of mycology he laved so much.

My heartfelt condolences on the passing of Dr. Korf. He was a great and distinguished teacher and I am grateful to have known him and taken his mycology classes. He transferred his love of fungi to many. Mushroom collecting trips in the woods around Ithaca were memorable as were his readings of "The Grinch who stole Christmas" at department Christmas parties. I can still hear him announce "Coffee" in his theatrical voice in the Plant Science hallway in later years. I wish Kumi, the children and extended family comfort and strength in bearing this great loss.

Dear Kumi and family. I was very sorry to hear of Dick's passing but grateful that he was at home in the presence of family at the end. I had a chance to visit with Dick briefly in his room at Cayuga Ridge two weeks ago and to convey well wishes from his colleagues in plant pathology. I know that speaking was a struggle for him at the time but he kindly acknowledged my visit and thanked me. Dick will be missed by his many friends in the department at Cornell and worldwide. His impact on our department and profession is profound and he will be remembered for years to come. My thoughts are with you. Gary Bergstrom
