Virginia, In Passing: Lucian Zelazny

NGray's picture

Lucian Zelazny was a darn good Soil Scientist and one heck of a nice person, too.

Lucian passed at approximately 10:00 on Tuesday evening. He passed very
peacefully surrounded by Layel and all of his children, so this was quite a
blessing as he had very little pain. I will let everyone know about
arrangements as the details are finalized. Thanks to everyone for their prayers
and kind words... they meant the world to the entire family.

Lucian

I completely agree. Lucian was the best and he taught the best. To top it off Dr. Z was one of the most humble people that I have ever known. He is greatly missed.
