At the 1983 First International Sod Conference & Field Day in New Jersey, Warren Schuch, Turfgrass Inc., past president of the Cultivated Sod Association of New Jersey (left), presents a plaque to Dr. Henry Indyk, chairman of the Local Arrangements Committee.
According to Bruce Clarke, chair of the Department of Plant Biology and Pathology and director of the Center for Turfgrass Science, this fundraising effort was initiated in 2007 to provide an ongoing source of funding for graduate students in turfgrass science at Rutgers. Clarke expressed appreciation “to the NJTA and NJTF for their tremendous support of the Henry Indyk Endowed Graduate Fellowship, to the tune of more than $150,000 in funding since we started our campaign.”
Clarke thanked the Indyk family for their financial support of the graduate fellowship, and the many turfgrass associations and turf managers throughout the U.S. who contributed to the fundraising effort of the Rutgers Turfgrass Program.”
Fantastic! Te Clippings article closed with this tribute, “Te turfgrass industry benefited from his expertise in many other ways. Absolutely no one worked harder to promote excellence in all of his endeavors, and his work resulted in an elevated image of the turfgrass industry, in its various applications, and brought him great personal recognition.
“It is difficult to describe what this one man’s work has meant to the “world of natural grass.” He had the love, the admiration, and the respect of all who had the honor and privilege of working with him. Five decades of professional experience in turfgrass management earned Dr. Indyk world-wide recognition. He will be missed.”
Tis “Fantastic” man is missed by so many, but lives on in their memories through programs such as TLI’s Dr. Henry W. Indyk Scholarship.
