Prof Landy was my Electric Machines Lecturer in my Undergraduate studies at Wits University and supervised by final year thesis in 2001. He was a great teacher and mentor. I will forever cherish the knowledge, guidance and insights he gave me as an Engineer and as a human-being.

Charles was a student of mine in the 2nd year Physics class at Wits in 1964. I remember him with affection and it was with great sadness that I learnt of his death. Later when he was on the staff of the Electrical Dept. he helped me with several projects.  My condolences to his family

I worked closely with Professor Landy during his period at the University of the Witwatersrand. I was employed as a financial manager in the Department of electrical engineering for nearly 15 years. 
Charles was not only my superior.  He was my mentor and became a very dear friend to me and my then young son.  Because of Charles I commenced furthering my education and thanks to this wonderful man, I concluded an honours LLB in 2006 and was called to the Bar, ("Johannesburg society of Advocates") in 2007.  
I continue practicing as an advocate always remembering Charles, and the values he held dear, integrity, patience and love for all man.  
Charles had a huge impact on my life and I will forever be grateful to this humble man for the support he gave me.  I will miss you Charles, but the values and inspiration you left with me  will remain forever in my heart and I hope to pass them on to the next young person I may mentor or pupil.

May you rest now dear Charles.

Professor Charles Landy was a member of the Electrical Engineering Class (1963-1966) at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. I, Paul Kirchmann, was also a member of that class. I fondly remember Charles from that time.

Prof. Landy was a lecturer of mine at Wits University during my undergrad, but it was as a post-grad that I got to know him better. He brought order to my chaotic post-grad world, and coached me into being a better and more insightful engineer. He was a gentle and humble man, with a big impact on those around him. Best wishes to his family.

I meet Prof. Charles Landy in South Africa. I acknowledged the deep mark he left  on South African Schools and Industry. Thousands of electric motors in a very large variety of types (standards, special constructions, explosion-proof, spark-proof) and abroad have been design according to his design program, generating thousand of jobs in multiple industries and motor manufacturing in South Africa . Many of these motors have been use as models for new designs boosting intelectual property and material prosperity for people. Professor Landy legacy and message will last forever, for generations.

My deepest sympathies to your family. Charles Landy was an expert on one of my cases.  He was so patient with me, always took the time to answer my questions and really helped me to understand how the product worked. I could tell from our conversations that he loved his family, was strong in his faith, and was just an overall good person.  I am so sorry for your loss.

Professor Charles Landy was a modest and unassuming Man .  He made a huge impression on the members of the community to which he belonged during his years in South Africa . Although he emigrated to  the USA close to 14 years ago -  he is  still very fondly remembered by his community . He also made a huge impression on his Students at the Witwatersrand University , where he was the Head of the Department of Electrical engineering . He is sorely missed.

Charles Landy was a perfect gentleman and an outstanding engineer and educator. I had an honor and privilege working with him for The Missouri University of Science and Technology. Anyone who ever interacted with Charles had the best opinion about him. He was a true giant among men.

With sincerest condolences and much love from the School of Electrical and Information Engineering, the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, and all at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. With our deepest love and regards from: Ian, friends and colleagues. His life was a blessing to all who knew him.
