My deepest shared sadness for your loss. I had Mr Dragoo (GOO) for many classes and worked as his lab assistant. He always went the extra mile to make his students feel important and worthwhile.
His enthusiasm and energy were a constant source of inspiration and enjoyment. I also had the pleasure
of spending time with him outside of class. We shared an interest in bowling, track and he introduced me
to racquetball (which I still play today). I can't imagine a better example of what a Teacher, Mentor and Human being would look like. He did more to give me a foundation for life than anyone else I can recall.
I remember how frightened I was the day of the Tornado in Kalamazoo and though he was lost because
he didn't show up for something I knew he would be at. That fear is now sadness at his loss but also great joy in remembering what a fine person he was and how many other lives he must have touched
in a very positive way over the many years of his service.
I pray he is in his sitting back in his Hawaiian shirt listening to Hank Williams sing.
