My thoughts and prayers will continue, Bennie the love you and your children had for Mr. Ed was amazing! I wish there was more of that in this world, it would be a much better place for us all!!!! Love to you all, Lisa A. Seagroves

Ed McMillan was one of my first principals. I remember him being so understanding and kind. He always encouraged me and taught me that family came first, no matter what. As a colleague, I always appreciated his calmness and sense of humor. Fond memories of him.......

My prayers and thoughts go out the McMillan familly.

"Dr. Mc" hired me as a fresh-out-of-college new teacher on an emergency certificate to teach Bilingual Kindergarten in August 1993. He taught me not to worry about the things I couldn't control, and to work hard to change the things I could.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

You are in our thoughts and prayers. Sallie and Tom Musslewhite

My prayers go out to the McMillian Family. Dr. McMillan was my Principal at Thomas R. Bonner Elementary School. He will be miss. Gwen Gitchuway

John, I'm thinking of you and praying for love and comfort for you and your family.

I am a retired Tyler ISD secretary in the Special Education Department at the Administration Building. I will always remember how nice Mr. McMillan always was to me. He was a very special man. Also, he taught the Defensive Driving course I had to take for a ticket I had gotten and he was a lot fun! You're in my prayers.

I was one of the fortunate students at Mattie Jones in the early 1960s that had "Mr. McMillan" as my principal. I will always remember him as being very kind and always had a smile on his face. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I was sorry to hear this news today. I will remember the McMillan family in my thoughts and prayers.

My family has you in our prayers. You meant so much to my children. They are saddened that you are no longer in their world and they look forward to seeing you in heaven.

Dr. McMillan was the first person I met when my family moved to Tyler. I took my two children to enroll them at Rice School only to learn my son's class had just left for their week at Camp Tyler. Dr. McMillan explained that Jimmy could either go to camp or wait till the class returned to start school. He wanted to go, so after quickly packing for a place I'd never heard of, Dr. McMillan drove Jimmy and me to the camp. He pointed out interesting facts and places along the way, and made me very comfortable sending my child to a place I'd never heard of with people I did not know. Years later Dr. McMillan was in my lab and I reminded him of that day. I shall never forget his kindness and his gentle spirit.

I have known Ed many years and can say for sure he was a very nice man. Ed always had a friendly smile and handshake for you. He and Bennie have raised two great sons. Juanita and my deepest thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Ed lived a good life but it was cut to short but God wanted him now !

I have the fondest memories of him as my principal at Rice. John, you and your family are in my prayers.

Offering our deepest condolences during this time.

Our thoughts are with you. Let us celebrate a life well-lived. You are in our prayers at this difficult time.
