Not sure what to say?

I fondly remember Dr Ashley as a teacher, advisor, and fellow member of USC Aiken´s jazz rock band "The Horseheads"

My dear brother-in-law is missed as much today as ever. He will forever be in many people's hearts. The mold was broken and no one can ever take his place.

I had the pleasure of having Dr. Ashley teach me my senior year in high school. He was the student teacher assigned to Mrs. Boozer at Newberry High School. He made Shakespeare and every other lesson interesting for all of us. I also had the pleasure of having his father teach me in college and of knowing his family. He was so talented even then. I was sorry to hear of his passing. It is a loss for his local community and all of South Carolina and beyond. He is missed.

With our love and sympathy , Bill and Marcia
