I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
I am so saddened to hear this terrible news. In my nearly 18 years working with Rohn, I gained so much respect and strong admiration for him. A wonderful guy – hugely competent and hard working, always with a positive, can-do, attitude. That, coupled with his very unassuming persona, and willingness to go out of his way to share his expertise and help others, made him a rare talent and a genuinely good person. He will definitely be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Rohn’s family during this sad and difficult time.

On behalf of my mom & I ,please accept our sincerest condolences on the loss of your husband/friend/father/family. We always remember meeting Rohn for the first time &, Margaret, we were immensely impressed at what an *incredibly* nice fella you married. ~God Bless All of You, Jordanna & Ruth Gastrow (West family side)
My heart and prayers go out to your family. Rohn was one of the few pHD’s at Lilly that reached out and helped the research associates at Lilly. He had a great attitude, never condescending to the associates, and would stop what he was doing to lend a helping hand. He was a genuienley sweet man and will be sadly missed.
I pray to the Lord to bless the departed soul with eternal peace and give you and your family the strength and support to cope with the loss

I am so sorry to hear of the death of Rohn. The passing away of a loved one is always with much sorrow. May we have faith and confidence in the Bible’s promise of a time when pain, sickness and death are a thing of the past (Revelation 21:3, 4). My condolences are with the family at this difficult time.
