Not sure what to say?

A man may die but his character remains. Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. In that sense, John W. Naylor was a Giant Sequoia among men. May he rest in peace.

May he rest in peace,my prayers with his family.I did not have coach Naylor but I went to Trimble Tech in 1966.My thoughts are with you all god bless

I loved John Naylor. Having graduated from Heights in 1960, and having taught for 25 years in FWISD, I cannot remember if I had him for history at Heights, or taught with him somewhere throughout the years. Regardless, I remember his dry (usually) wit and great sense of sly humor. I remember that his students and peers held him in great esteem. RIP Coach Naylor and many of us will see you soon.

Coach Naylor was my World History teacher at Trimble Tech back in the 60's and I can still remember his commanding presence and voice.
Even though many years have passed, I remember Coach Naylor.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

IF YOU CAN WALK WITH KINGS AND NOT LOSE THE COMMON TOUCH...COACH NAYLOR WAS A MAN OF HONOR AND HE WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART.I LOVE YOU GUYS.STAY STRONG AND KEEP LOVING AND LOOKING AFTER EACH OTHER.
