I am sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. As you know he was funny and witty but most important, he did care deeply for his students. Thanks for everything. Once a Dragon, always a Dragon. Class of 80. Carpé diem

Mary Lou, Frank and Andy,
We've all lost one of the best. If the whole world could share his love of life, learning, work, baseball, church and family with all their good and bad and ups and downs, it woudl be a better place. (I know he'd love taking apart that sentence.)

Dear Jean:
A gentleman, scholar, and exemplary mentor. Someone who cared about his community and his students.
I can still do the first declention in Latin. The mold was broken when Jean was made. Jean's humor was
right up there with John Belushi and
Sam Kennison.

Mary Lou, Brian and Andy, I share your loss. The world is much less
enriched with the loss of Jean.

Jean, God Bless you, and I hope to meet again one day with you.
