Read MoreLadies, your dad was one of the most fascinating people I have ever known. I only recently learned of his passing and wanted to share my thoughts with you. I enjoyed 3 classes at UMKC with him and he was absolutely fascinating to listen to.

Forty plus years ago, I took care of Beth when she was a baby. As a high school student, I was used to walking to get where I needed to go. Dr. Gwynne-Thomas always made sure that I had a ride home. Those rides were full of wonderful conversation. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Although my Dad will be greatly missed by his immediate family, friends and students and other people he has touched throughout his life, he is in a better place and no longer suffering. My dad fought the good fight, the long fight, the valiant fight. My thanks goes out to all that have supported us in these last years so we could give my father the passing he wanted.

I had one history course from him at UMKC (History of Ed.) and still repeat stories he told. I absolutely loved his class. I know his death is a terrible loss to his family and friends, but what a life he lived!
