I grew up a couple blocks away from the Dugas family, went to church with Judy's mom and had Mr. Dugas as a substitute teacher at Narbonne. My three brothers and sister also had Mr. Dugas as a teacher. He was a wonderful man who will be missed. You all have my deepest sympathy and you will be in my prayers. God Bless.

My brother Cliff was a fraternity brother of Andy's at L.A. Harbor College and Cliff use to bring me along to some of the functions. Even at this time in his life Andy was always the nicest to me and my favorite in my brothers fraternity. Judy, his wife was a classmate of mine at Narbonne and my condolences to Judy and the entire Dugas family.

My parents (Bob & Judy) & I used to live on the cul-de-sac with the Dugas family. It was great neighborhood where the families actually knew each other and watched out for each other. Mr. Dugas was well known in the neighborhood for his friendly smiles and welcoming wave whenever someone would drive by his house. My children even remember Mr. Dugas as the friendly man who always said 'Hello' and never yelled at them for being noisy kids playing on the street. I'm glad we don't live there...

I went to Banning High School with Andy, he was always kind and sometimes in trouble. When he bacame a teacher he changed the lives of many kids, including my son. Thanks to andy for teaching a boy who hated school but with Andys guidance he became a master machinist. Andy will be dearly missed

Words cant explane how I feel about Andy Dugas. He was a great shop teacher but, at the same time he taught life skills.

He welcomed me in to his family for countless camping trips to Az. and fishing trips in the eastern sierra's.

Andy always gave to his students selflessly.

I will never forget Mr. Dugas. He was my metalshop and stage crew teacher for the 3 years I was at Narbonne. Not many shop teachers back then would take a chance on having a girl in his class, and I remember my junior high school stage teacher sending a letter of recommendation to Mr. Dugas. I can honestly say that my experiences in both of his classes for those 3 years have, and will always, stand out in my memories. Even when I went through tough times during those years (being the...

Andy was a great friend to me. I'll never forget our production of You're A Good Man Charlie Brown. It was my first attempt at a Musical Production and Andy's support and guidance were invaluable. May God Bless him always.
