Read MoreDr. Thurber was a wonderful person. He was so very kind. I appreciate the time I had with him as a private music teacher and also for the time I had playing in his community symphony orchestra in Eager. I was just an average high school kid, but he made me feel like a star. Lots of love to his family!

What a great humble man. He was the best band teacher as well. He was a master at coming up with and directing half-time marching band performances. May God bless and comfort his family.
