James Philip "J. Phil" Ferguson

Mr. Ferguson was my 5th grade teacher at the old Rylie school. He was undoubtedly the greatest mentor and teacher that I ever had in my twelve years as a student. I remember very fondly of the many Saturdays that he would happily take a bunch of kids on a bus to the Dallas Music Hall to watch our first ballet and the Dallas Symphony. He taught us respect and how to behave in public. He even gave us a history lesson by taking us to the Majestic theater to see Gone With the Wind. He was...

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm just learning of this. Mr. Ferguson was a very special teacher and made such a lasting impact on so many of us at JQA. He put up with our pranks so good -naturedly! We used to pile rocks against the back door of his portable, knock on the door, and run. He had to know it was us! I will always have good memories of him! He treated every student like they were each his favorite.

I do believe this to be the same Mr. Ferguson I had as a social studies teacher back in the late 1970's at John Quincy Adams Elementary. Rest in peace, sir.

Sorry for the loss of a dear loved one. May you find comfort during this grieving moment. Psalm 105:4.

I will miss my friend. I will miss seeing Phil out in the neighborhood working out in the yard. I will miss our conversations about working as teachers in DISD. My condolences go out to his family. Rest in peace Phil.

Mr. Ferguson was an excellent teacher who had a positive impact on many students. He will be missed. Our prayers are with his family.

My condolences to all the family and friends. He was always my favorite teacher. My mom worked in the office and they we're good friends and talked alot. My biggest memory was when he was standing outside his portable and he stuck his tongue out at me and I stuck mine out back and he sent me to the office! Don't do what others do! The principle laughed and sent me back to class. I will always remember him the most standing outside his portable smiling and messing with all the kids. As tuff as...

So sorry to hear, he still is one of my favorite teachers. My condolences to Molly and family.

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.
