I had him for 6th grade. our class was all the "little stinkers" of our era! .He handled us with such respect. He never lost his temper(and he probably should have!) Taught us, stood beside us! Thank You!

He was my favorite teacher in my childhood. He encouraged me academically and personally. When I messed up, he lovingly held me accountable in correction. I think of him every Christmas when I listen to Nat King Cole's Christmas album. I wish I had kept in touch with him. I'm happy that he is in the arms of Jesus now, and pray for the comfort of his beloved Glenda and family.

MR JAQUINS WAS ONE OF THE BEST TEACHER AT WASHINGTON GRADE SCHOOL. AND 50+ YEARS LATER HE ALWAYS RECOGNIZED ME AND WE WOULD STOP AND TALK MANY TIMES FOR MANY MINUTES. THE LORD JUST GOT AN AWESOME ANGEL.

Dad,
Thank you for a lifetime of love, strength, and gentle wisdom. You taught me by example-through your service, your faith, your dedication to family, and the joy you found in simple moments, especially out on the water with a fishing rod in hand. Your legacy lives on in me, in the values you instilled, and in the love you shared so freely. I will miss you deeply, but rest knowing you are at peace and reunited with family and friends.
With love and gratitude,
Dusty
