Good afternoon, my name is Min. Theresa Dews, and I'm apologize for just hearing about the passing of Dr. McCoy. I remember when I first took classes with him one of the things he said to me that I have now passed on to my grandchildren, is never walk in his class without your books, because you won't anything in common with him.

A gentleman among gentlemen. I first remember Dr. McCoy from my childhood as he and my father were colleagues and friends. He was a brilliant man and I always enjoyed seeing his smile.

My heartfelt condolences to the immediate and extended families, may your memories and faith sustain you at this time.

Dr. McCoy was one of my amazing, very spirited professors at Texas Southern University. It was because of his greatness and compassion that he went out his way to ensure that I could take the State Bar on time after having some issues related to my dual degree program. He was dedicated to the education and advancement of his students. I take great pride in my memories of Dr. McCoy and recognize he is in a much better place with no sickness and where his days are not numbered. I pray that God...
