Words, of course, are inadequate as a means of expressing fully our emotions at this time. However
through words we may be able to share more consciously many of our common feelings over the loss of one whom we all have come to hold in deep affection and esteem.
We have all known the sincere and genuine kindness of Rudolf Fuerst's generous personality, his loyalty to friends, and to his adopted country.
His devotion to his life's work was founded upon a deeply humanistic attitude toward life, dedicated to the search for understanding of the human heart, and ever eager to assist others in removing obstacles to their natural capacity for love.
Those who came in contact with him, whether they were in health or in illness, soon realized that he was concerned with more than giving comfort. He was always striving to release the inner strength and creative energies in people. His vision was focussed principally upon the processes of life and growth. Whenever it was possible he would assist those processes by a modest effort to free them from the various tyrannies imposed upon them by man's own limitations.
All of his colleagues were well aware of his skill as a physician. His earnest devotion to science and research will serve as an inspiration to those who will continue to carry forward the search for truth in human nature.
Others may find encouragement in his abiding faith in the constructive and creative forces in the universe.
