Terry, we’re so sorry to hear about Dick. We’ve had kind thoughts about you since MCV days. I recently refound the pearl pocket knife Dick had engraved with my son’s name in 1981 and gave it to him. Thomas Deis. We have 2 grandchildren now. I taught Biochemistry at Rutgers for 43 years. Hope you are well.
I remember taking my youngest daughter to him when he was a pedrianan
To the family of Dr. Sein,
I was a student of Dr. Stein in the late 1970’s. His class was one that was a necessity for my pursuit of a degree in Civil Engineering, which I obtained after a hiatus as a cattle farmer. I will never forget this memory of my experience, and I hope that it brings a smile to those in grief.
I submitted my first lab experiment documentation to Dr. Stein, and he returned it to me with a notation; “This is illegible!”. I was not known for my ability as a scribe, and I really didn’t know how to improve my handwriting. I am sure my second submission was just as horrible as the first. Dr. Stein returned it to me with an 89. Today, I am nearing retirement from a very successful career as a partner in an engineering and survey firm in Fredericksburg. If not for his kindness and understanding, I might never have passed this critical class.
Godspeed, good Doctor. I will not forget you.
Rick Furnival
Terry,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

I had the pleasure of being one of Dr. Steins students many years ago. I loved him, he was cool and smart and approachable. Then many years later I met his wife Terry and realized she had been my teacher also only for one quarter, she was hard and rigid in my youth I didn’t understand but now I found her to be kind and generous and we became friends. I know how difficult this is for her because I believe they were soul mates and shared an incredible life together. It was very difficult for her to watch Dick suffer and I know she is relieved that he suffers no more but also overwhelmed by the pain of losing her beloved Dick. God works in mysterious ways and somehow He saw fit to put is back in each others orbit . Dick was a wonderful teacher, scholar, friend and husband may he rest in peace.
