His son speaks at his funeral

Speaking at the funeral, Librescu’s son mused what his father, the world-renowned aeronautical engineer, would think of the scene. “Dad, I think that at this moment you’re probably looking down on us from above and saying, ‘what’s the fuss all about? I only did what I had to do.’ From our childhood, you taught us to care for people, to work hard to succeed. But you never taught us to be heroes. That was more theoretical a lesson than aerodynamics,” he said. Then he added: “The course in aerodynamics are over. On April 16th, you started a new career, teaching a new subject - heroism.”

He was a great man.

I wonder if the reason God allowed him to die like this was so that we would know.
 
I read a comment somewhere on the blogosphere to the effect that on Monday, the day of the shooting, it was Holocaust Memorial Day. On that day the media was referring over and over to Liviu Librescu as a Holocaust survivor.
  • On that day, no one was a Holocaust denier.*
By the mercy of God, may his soul rest in peace.
