Not sure what to say?

Sorry for the delay in this post, I was just made aware. We enjoyed so much getting to know Roe. My deepest sympathy and I will pray for you and the kids.

Duane was a great guy and I am very sorry to hear of his passing. He always had a smile on his face and a kind word. I teased him that he held the fish closer to the camera so that they looked bigger but I know he was catching the big ones. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Mr Keene was my 6th grade teacher last year. He was one of my favorite. He was funny and made me enjoy Science.

So sorry for your loss :( He will be missed.

My prayers and thoughts are with the family during this difficult time. I subbed for Mr. Keene several times over the years at Dozier MS. He was always kind and welcoming.

So sorry to hear about his passing. I enjoyed working at Page MS with him & you at Abingdon. You are strong & resilient. You also have amazing kids that will keep you going. Thinking of you

So sorry for your loss, my heart weeps for his family. Met Duane when I was the new kid in school - 6th grade Valley Elementary - Mr Ludwig's class. He was one of my first friends there. Heaven gained a true Angel and now he can share stories about fishing with a whole new group of friends. Peace be with you and your family.

Mr. Keene was my 6th grade science teacher at Dozier. Of all the teachers I've ever had (as I am 19 and in my second year of college); Mr. Keene was my absolute favorite! He was kind and caring about his students and had a passion for teaching too. He will be missed and my deepest condolences to his family.

Mr. Keene was my old science teacher back in 6th Grade. Last year on the last day of school, I told him how impactful he was to me and how grateful I was to have him as a teacher. He was always a nice guy, one of the best teachers I've ever had. I was in shock when I first found this out, didn't believe it at first. I give my condolences to his loved ones.
