James Patrick Dignan

He was a amazing teacher .I loved to talk to him about history I have thought about him many times Through the years .he was a great guy and will be missed.

I always respected him as a coach and I learned a lot from him, but he was hard on me .. he taught me some life lessons that I have used as a 20 year high school baseball coach in California .. I owe so much to him

I send my condolences to Patricia, Cassandra and John. I am so sorry I did not know of Pat's passing until today ( 6/11.) Patrick was a dear friend, department colleague and an inspiration to all who knew him. I know his spirit will live on in his children, his grandchildren and the students that he taught and coached at Ypsi High.

He not only coached me, taught me who I wanted to be. How to lead by example as he always did. On his teams 1964-69 RIP Diggs

Thank you for making a difference in so many of our lives. I will never forget your "dusty black baseball shoes " that you wore on the field and in the classroom! may you Rest In Peace. Prayers of comfort and grace to the entire family.

My coach in football and basketball in 1964 at Roosevelt in Ypsilanti. He and Norm Parker made it fun. My deepest sympathy. RIP.

RIP. Mr. Dignan was my Drivers Ed teacher in 66. BennieToliver was also a student. Great person.

To all who knew and loved him we cherish our memories...even though I had not seen him since I graduated in 81 there are certain people you never forget no matter how long you live he was one of them. Very sorry for your loss , the Frisbie family

My families thoughts and prayers are with all of his family.
