My best buddy from the Navy. Fair winds and a following sea, Chief.
My sympathy to the family of Doran..I don’t know if I saw you folks at the Reunion..but he must have been a great guy to get high praises as a sub…from another sub…Elizabeth Camp Anthony…
I lived across the street from Doran when we were children. We had a lot of fun together.
We exchanged e-mails a couple of years ago. May he rest in peace.mm
Figart,
I wish I had gotten to say goodbye. You will always be missed by everyone who ever knew you. You were such a great sub and such an important part of my time at NHHS. Dance could never have been the same with out you. Someday when I go to NYC I’ll think of you and go all the places you told me to. Thank you for being wonderful. We love you!

He was a very nice person at North Henderson we will all miss him. We are with his family at this time of sorrow. And from up in heaven we know he knows our language.
Fue una persona muy amable y siempre era muy bueno con los estudiantes en North Henderson High School. Lo vamos a extraÒar mucho. Estaremos con Èl y su familia en el momento de este dolor. Sabemos que desde el cielo el entiende nuestro idioma.
Praying for the family – I’m in the hospital so I am unable to attend the graveside, but my thoughts and prayers are with you.
My thoughts and prayers are with each of you during this difficult time. I recall many happy moments enjoyed in the Figart home in Barker Heights. God’s blessing and peace be yours.
Figart, you always made me smile at NHHS. We will miss you.
