Read MoreI just recently learned of Mr. Urquhart's passing. I've lived away from Fort Walton Beach for many years. I had Mr. Urquhart for Algebra 1 during 1973 Summer School at Bruner Jr. High School. He has a Divine Gift for teaching mathematics and making it so understandable and fun. I miss him. I send my condolences and best to him, his family, and loved ones.

Mr. Urquhart was the only teacher who ever piqued my interest in math. Even after I graduated from Ft. Walton High School he still remembered me. My thoughts and prayers are extended to the family of this special educator.

I don't have any pictures of my Uncle Neal, but the truth is- I don't need any. As soon as anyone mentions his name, I can see him clear as day. Sparkling blue eyes, wide smile, open arms. I've never known anyone so welcoming. As soon as Neal locked his eyes on you, you knew you were the most important, most interesting person he ever knew. He always made everybody feel like somebody, and that's a gift. Neal never missed a chance to laugh, never missed a chance to hug, never missed a chance...

I went to Choctaw with Neal, and sat near him in several classes. I remember him as quiet, kind, and the kind of very smart person who never thinks of trying to prove how smart he is. His memory makes me smile, even now. May Neal's family find comfort in their faith, and in each other.
