Barry Boatwright

Kim and Coon Dog, I don't know if you remember me- But I was Barry's work/study during the hunting accident in Canada. Barry was such a great educator- I always teased Barry that he could not retire from teaching til my daughter's had time to take his classes- I just learned of his passing when my daughter was looking through GSCC catalog and seen his Memorial fund- Kim, I am so sorry- I would have loved to be there for his service. I would not have made so far in my education without Barry's...

I just found out about Professor Boatwright. I was shocked. He was my mom's professor and boss when she was a student at GSCC many years ago now. He was always nice to me and my younger sister when we came to school with my mom. He will be missed.

I only learned of Barry's untimely passing this past weekend. I had not seen Barry for some time, but whenever I ran into someone from his area I always told them about Barry and asked if they were lucky enough to have known him.

The good Lord Obviously had need of another special person.

Take comfort that he is well and living with Jesus today.

There are very few people in this world that leave a lasting impression. Mr Boatwwright was one of the greatest, most sincere, and caring teachers I have ever had, if it hadn't been for him I would not be a nurse anesthesist today. He will be greatly missed. I am so glad I had the opportunity to learn from him. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I miss my friend Barry. He was one of the most kind and intelligent persons I had ever met. I miss his smile, wit, and companionship. Gadsden State will never be the same without him.

One of the greatest men I've ever known. Compassionate, thoughtful, and brilliant are just a few of the thousands of words that could be used to describe this man. Mr. Boatwright made a huge impact on my life as I know he did on others' with his unmatched ability as a teacher and friend. My heart goes out to his family. The world is defiantly a dimmer place with Barry to brighten it.

Barry Boatwright was my son's most special teacher. What a shame someone so lovely has left this world. We needed him, and more like him. He will be greatly missed!

Mr. Boatwright was one of the best teachers that I have ever had. He was truly student oriented, which is rare to find in college. He was adored by many students including myself. I had him for 2 summers including this summer for chemistry. He was down to earth and solid gold. He will be missed.

mr. boatwright was a wonderful teacher. had it not been for his encouragement and helpfulness, i would not have made it through organic chemistry. i am so sorry to hear about his passing, please accept our deepest sympathies. from Merin Graves, husband Chris & son Bryce (student, fall 2006)
