John T. Akers

Connie, we were roommates at EKU and remember spending nice weekend at your home with you and your husband Remember attending your graduation With my mother Would enjoy connecting with you again Bernadette McIntire

In the years that have passed it only seems I miss this fine person more and more.

Christmas just around the corner John .t I seen your picture on the hearth. Connie has the place looking beautiful. I miss you so much.

After Capt "Sully" landed the crippled plane in the Hudson, John told me that it had inspired him to be the best he could be at anything he tried to do. John was at his best long before that and now he inspires us to be our best. Your brother "David Darlin"

I had a really good dream about John the other night. I had stumbled into one ofl his word traps. I don't remember what was said, except that we both began laughing almost uncontrollably. I'll love him always. John T was my good friend besides being my brother. RIP John T..........D.D.

I often get up and draw in the middle of the night, sometimes from photos, and sometimes I will just make up a face, I really don't know where they come from. But the other night, this one appeared(JTs Impish Grin) I had no idea he was there! I always felt a special connection with Johnny, hillbilly jokester fronting for an intelligent, sensitive man. Miss him dearly.

It's been a year ... and good buddy
you are still in hearts and minds

I just learned of John's passing when I heard that a Univ of Phoenix conference was named in his honor. John was a wonderful man whose sense of humor and personality could light up a room. I enjoyed swapping dog stories with him in the faculty lounge and dog story e-mails once I left Sacramento. I know that John will live on in the hearts of fellow faculty and the many students he taught. The world is a better place for having had John in it.
