We have enjoyed knowing Daryle and Geri for many years. Daryle was always so nice to everyone. We were sad to hear of his passing. Please accept our condolences for your loss.
When I began my chemistry education at Springfield College in Illinois in 1975, the text book was that co-authored by Dr. Busch. When we moved to Lawrence, Kansas in 1993, it was one of the books I brought with me, minus the front cover, and I had the wonderful opportunity to have it autographed by Dr. Busch in the mid-1990s. My heart-felt condolences on his passing.
Sincerely,
Brad Buecker (and the last name is pronounced “beaker,” which I mentioned to Dr. Busch)

Geri: We were saddened at the news but relieved that the long struggle was over. You have been such a great comfort to Daryle over these past hard years. Back in 1988, you and Daryle immediately joined in as 100% KU stalwarts, and Daryle led the Chemistry Department’s research efforts tirelessly. He has been and continues to be missed. Please stay well.
Marlin and Nancy
Dear Jeri and family,
We were so sorry to hear the news and not long after having seen you, but know how you and family have have supported Daryle these past difficult years. You were a model of love and devotion throughout. He was a superb scientist and Dick was honored to have been able to contribute in some of what Daryle was spearheading so effectively with the Center for Environmentally Beneficial Catalysis. We send our sympathy to you and all of your children, grandchildren, and extended family at this time, along with best wishes for strength and comfort at this time.
Barbara and Dick
