I was saddened to read that Mr. Fogie passed away on Nov. 3.
I was a student at Coronado High School and had Mr. Fogie for English in both my sophomore and senior years. Although more than 50 years have passed since those days, I've always regarded Mr. Fogie as one of the very best teachers I had in high school.
I send my sincere condolences to his family in his passing.

Harry was the best principal, teacher and friend. Use to play tricks on his teachers and in turn we would get him back. May he rest in peace. To his daughters you had the best dad ever!

I was a teacher at Underdown Junior High ('77-'82) in Cashion, AZ when Harry was principal there. He really engaged the kids and was not one to stay in his office. He also loved to pull practical jokes on us teachers too! :) I still recall his great retirement party at Luke AFB. May this good man now rest in much-deserved peace!

He lived in the Community of Cashion, part of the City of Avondale. He also was my co worker and principal of my two sons. May he rest in peace. Romana Garcia Zarate

I was a student of Mr. Fogie at Coronado High School 50 years ago. He was a great teacher and a class act. God bless him and his family.

One of the best teachers ever. I remember him wearing his favorite tie that said, "I hate girls"! I asked him about the tie and he told me that he didn't hate girls but he knew the boys in high school didn't know that the girls were smarter than them. I enjoyed his classroom.Cornado HS, Class 1966 I still have one of my English papers from high school with his comments on it. I don't normally read the obits from Phoenix but today, I did and saw where Mr Fogie had passed. My condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.
