Melvin "C" Waters

Mr. Waters is my hero! He was my teacher from 4th and 5th grades. He taught me to love math, English, science and history! He pushed me to do more than what was asked, always giving extra things to learn when I was done with the assignment and was bored. He taught us to play games and have fun learning. He was almost always out at recess with us playing kickball, softball, jacks or hopscotch. I don´t think he took a break the whole school day! He taught how wonderful it is to learn new...

Mr. Waters was a wonderful teacher. I still remember how he could throw a football a mile into the air. I loved seeing him at the library for all those years. He touched many lives.

Wow, the only age to Mr. Waters I could see by his picture, after thity- five years, was a change in his hair color! Although the news is sad, it stirred up many wonderful memories of the many weekends our families spent together at various parks, while my father, Roger Parsons (who passed away in June 2005), played horseshoes with his friend.

Always sad when we lose a family loved one.Prayers of comfort from my family to yours.

Mr. Waters was my fifth grade teacher at Liberty Elementary. He clearly loved teaching and made learning fun. We missed him so much when he was out with his appendectomy that we threw him a party when he returned. I remember how he truly made me feel important... even as an adult, when I took my own daughter to the Murray Library where he called me by name and told my daughter all about her mom as a ten-year-old. I hope that I, as a teacher myself, have inspired my students in the same way he...

I want to express my thoughts and condolences to the family as well. I had the privledge of having Mr. Waters 2 years (5th & 6th grade) at Liberty. He was a great teacher and influence. May you find and have the peace only offered through the plan of a loving father-in-heaven.
