John Thomas Baccus

Dear Baccus Family, I am very saddened to read about the passing of Dr. B. I was one of the graduates of the Wildlife Biology program at SWTSU. Dr. B was very instrumental in guiding my career. He suggested that I consider teaching one of his lab courses and my career in Education took off from there. I retired after 35 years teaching and serving as a Community College administrator. My heart goes out to all of you and you go through the loss of a wonderful man. Diane Beechinor Professor...

My sincere condolences to the family of Dr. Baccus. He was a good man and an excellent teacher. I knew him from my time in the Bio Department at SWT.

John, you are always someone I greatly admired as a colleague at SWT (now Texas State University).
