I am so very sorry to hear about Doug's passing. He is such a kind soul and so knowledgable about genealogy. I enjoyed collaborating with him and working to solve some family mysteries. I only knew him for a short amount of time, but I could instantly tell that he was a wonderful person and teacher. He will be sorely missed!
Doug was a very interesting person when he shared genealogy with his family. It was something he enjoyed and had knowledge that came from years of research. Prayers for his family at this sad time. I am very sorry for your loss.
Coach Akins was my jr high basketball
Coach and Science teacher at Maryville Jr High in the 80’s. He treated us girls like his own daughters and always made sure we were ready for every game! Coach was the dearest person and always protective and looked out for us! I am so grateful for his influence on my life as a student, athlete but most of all as a person! Tracey - I’m thinking about you and sending prayers as you remember your Dad! Love, Sharon Phillips Earley
