Edward E. Doebert

Dear Sandy, Justin, and Jeremy,

I had the pleasure of both having Ed as a teacher when I was younger, then later as a colleague. As I am sure you know, he was one of those teachers you never forget. His calm and kind manner mixed with a fantastic and unique sense of humor made every day an adventure in his class. When I started working at HMS a few years ago, he was so welcoming and supportive, even though we were not in the same grade. I will remember him as a man who always had...

To the Doebert Family,
As a colleague of Ed I saw his constant dedication to both his family and students. For the students who did not go on the Washington DC trip each year he created a special experience at school. During lunch, much of his conversation was about Justin and Jeremy. I know he was a father first, setting aside evenings and weekends to be with his sons as much as possible.
My condolences to you. Ed will be missed greatly.

Dear Sandy and Family,

I just heard of Ed's passing I worked with Ed at HMS. We shared chaperon duties on the Florida Marine Ecology trip for a number of years. I remember how tuned in to the students Ed was. He could tell if a student was having a problem. He was a great asset to the trip.
I also remember the day he came to my scuba shop to purchase masks for the boys. They were very young at the time and he was very attentive to them. He so enjoyed snorkeling in...

Dear Doebert family ~
I am truly sorry to hear of Ed's,"Eddie's" passing. I went to Jr. High and High School with him. He had an infectious smile and persnality that radiated to all who knew him. As I read the entries from his students and colleagues I see the highest of compliments an educator can achieve, those of love and admiration! His legacy and love for education will clearly live on through the many lives he has touched throughout his teaching career! My thoughts and prayers are...

Mr. Doebert was my third and fourth grade teacher at Monroe. After all my years of schooling, he is still, by far, the best teacher I ever had. He inspired me to learn and have confidence in myself. I will never forget him showing up to school driving a metallic blue dune buggy. Thanks to him, I had a pet crayfish named "Slappy." He was a great man, and I am sorry for your loss.

Dear Doebert Family - I am very sorry for your loss. I truly enjoyed Ed, although we always called him Eddie, throughout Junior High and High School. He was an incredibly funny and genuine guy, whose personality came through in all he did. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

To the entire Doebert Family-

I was so sorry to hear of Ed's passing. Ed was one of the great guys from band--fun to be around and always a gentleman. I last spoke with him at a Switzerland trip reunion.He was so excited and proud of his teaching position in Hinsdale. In reading the memories shared, I can tell he was loved and that his life was full. I will always think of "Eddie" as the lean, curly long haired guy on guitar. My thoughts are with you.

Dear Sandy and Family,
So sorry to hear of Ed's passing. Along with many others, I played in a band with Ed in High School. He was a talented musician, and a fun guy to be around. We had lost touch over the years, but I've thought of him often. My thoughts are with you.
