Fern was a great man, and I am happy that he can now enjoy the company of the God he loved so much. I was truly privileged to know Fern. What an example to someone who had just given her life to Christ. And how comforted you all must be to know that you took such wonderful care of him, were such a joy to him.

Fern was a wonderful person. He was responsible for our family going to school at Grady. I know the Stout family well, they are all wonderful. My prayers are with the family.

Our prayers are with Dr. Stouts family at this sad time. He was a wonderful COD President when I was in the Nursing Program. I remember when the family lived in what is now Foundation HQ on campus. I walked by and saw his son playing on the lawn once. Ah, those were the days of youth and fun. He always had a kind smile for everyone of the students. I think he did the most for our little Community College than any other President.God Bless his sweet sprit.

Leta, Ross and Kathey,
One of Bob's favorite stories was of Fern sitting in his lawn chair while over seeing one of the projects. He was a wonderful kind man and will be missed by many.
