Mr. Patton sparked my interest in science at a young age. The seeds of courosity that he planted lead to my Engineering career at White Sands Missile Range, NM. Men like Mr. Patton live on in the memories of the people whose lives they have touched.##imported-begin##Clipper Carpenter`##imported-end##
I just now learned of Mr. Patton's passing, but I still want to leave my condolences. Mr. Patton was one of those teachers that knew how to challenge a student. That's what kept his class interesting for me. I never drifted off. I didn't dare! He wasn't one to speak for the sake of hearing his voice. When he opened his mouth, his tone was gentle and quiet, but students were wise to listen to every word. We never knew which tidbit might appear on his next test. That man taught me a lot, including the importance of paying attention.##imported-begin##Rosalyn Rutledge Alsobrook##imported-end##

I so respected Mr Patton. Even at that age, I understood that he made a great sacrifice to teach instead of working at the plant. He conveyed his love for his students with only their best interest in mind at all times. What a blessing it was to have him for a teacher. Wouldn't it be great if all children could have teachers like Mr Patton.

I remember Uncle Aaron's gentle teasing and how confused I was as a child as to whether he was even teasing or not! His lovely family is a tribute to a generous, honorable man. You lived and taught well, Uncle Aaron. Many are standing on your shoulders.##imported-begin##Dawn Seago Foreman##imported-end##
Uncle Bill sent us Uncle Aaron's obituary and I loved reading it. It took me down memory lane. I guess one of my most vivid memories is of Uncle Aaron taking us to swim at the Baptist encampment near Lone Star. How shocked Grandmother was that he condoned the cousins' "mixed bathing"! I bet he's either singing or playing dominoes or laughing in heaven right now. Much love to your family.##imported-begin##Suzanne Seago Benfield##imported-end##

I remember Mr. Patton being a very kind person who was a great example to the students in Daingerfield High School . My prayers are with our family at this time of loss.##imported-begin##Martha Floyd Edwards##imported-end##
Bruce, Frances, Martha, Jeannie, and Mike: My deepest condolences to each of you on your tremendous loss. “Mom” and Mr. Patton were very influential in my life. They treated me almost like one of their own; inviting me to share in home-cooked meals, taking me to church, sharing their family vacation time with me. How blessed I was to have them as well as the friendship of each of you in my life. As all other comments reference…Mr. Patton was patient, kind, compassionate, and understanding; a wonderful Christian, an excellent teacher, and just a good human being. May you find comfort in each other during this time of loss and healing.##imported-begin##Melva##imported-end##
