PT's first year at what was then Mat Su Community College, I was a student of his. He was so patient and happy to see us every day. I'll miss his need to show us the way to academic success.

Rest in peace. I will miss our phone conversations.

PT - he always made me smile! I had the pleasure of serving with him on the UAA Diversity Committee, he always had such enthusiasm! Rest in peace, friend.
