Thank you Prof. Deasy. You were my favorite Professor. My deepest sympathy.
MCM'82 and '83

Professor Deasy was a wonderful man who shared his love of history to all who were fortunate to have him as their teacher. He made it enjoyable to sit in his class with his tidbits of knowledge about anything and everything. He made learning fun! I remember him telling us a story about getting chosen to be on Jeapardy---he was so excited to tell us that story! PLUS the truth about The Wizard of Oz....I still haven't been able to watch it the same again. LOL. He will surely be missed!

Dolores, Bob and Leeann, while i have spoken to you a good deal I wanted to add my name to the list of the many remembrances of your beloved father and husband.

Bob had a memory of historical proportions.

Everyday, from when he was healthy to when he was sick from cancer -- he was always a pleasure to have a class. He taught history like a stand-up comedian that kept the class lighthearted, but at the same time, by seven minutes into the first class, everyone would sit there in awe,...

Dear Deasy Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your father was so special to everybody he touched, and my family was so fortunate to be one of them. We will never forget the memories of when Grampy Bob came to Maribeth's, in Warren, for all the great family get togethers. He always had a way of making everybody feel like part of his family, even my children only knew him as Grampy Bob:) The poem below was given to me, when I lost my Grampa, and I often reflect to it. I hope it gives...
