Not sure what to say?

I was one of his students in the late 1970s. He shared many of his life stories with me and inspired me to seek my own academic career teaching International Relations.

I am sorry to hear the news of Dr MacDougall passing. He was one of my favorite teachers at UAH. He was challenging, but made the classes fun. I remember talking to him in his office as a freshman in 1977. He told me whatever I did, he knew I would be successful. I have thought about our visits often through the years. It gave me confidence in school, work and family. He will be missed.

I was looking up someone else's obituary and just happened to see Dr. MacDougall's. He was my favorite professor at UAH and his guidance greatly and positively influenced my professional path. I thoroughly enjoyed attending his classes. I am so sorry for your loss.

I know you are having great debates up there, and winning! You will be missed.

My deepest condolences to the family. Dr. MacDougall was one of my favorite professors. He was always kind and always helpful. He had a tremendous influence on my education, and I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to know him.

My condolences to the family and friends, may the God of peace, comfort you all at this grievous time.

John was one of my favorite people at UAH. We taught together for years. My prayers are with Fran and the family.

One of my favorite professors while I was at UAH. Intellectual but entertaining, he had enough "real world" experience to balance the academia. Please accept my sympathy.
