Dr. Roland Bagby

We both knew Roland while we were all teaching in the Zoology Department
(now BCMB Dept) at the University of Tennessee/Knoxville.

Roland taught Physiology, Alex taught Embryology, and Pat taught Endocrinology.

At Alex's retirement party, Roland wrote a special song for him and play it on his guitar for the entire department. He was wonderful!!

God be with you and yours, Alex and Pat

Roland was a good friend when we were in Junior and Senior High School. He loved biology and I'd go along with him on snake hunts. He was a great guy and I enjoyed his friendship and growing up with him. His Dad, was our scoutmaster, and we enjoyed camping at Camp Mohawk several times. I hadn't heard from Roland since graduating from high school many years ago but often thought about the good times we had as kids. It

Roland was a good friend when we were in Junior and Senior High School. He loved biology and I'd go along with him on snake hunts.

I hadn't heard from Roland since graduating from high school many years ago but often thought about the good times we had as kids. It is very sad to lose a friend, and even though I hadn't seen him in all these years I still thought of him and was glad to know that he had a happy and successful life. My deepest sympathy to all of his family.

Gloria and Family,

I graduated with Roland from TCHS in 1955 and remember him so well. He was a fine classmate and I see he also excelled as an adult. The world is a much better place because of Roland's being in it. I know he must have touched so many young lives in a positive way--what better legacy to leave! You all will be remembered in my prayers. Even though you miss him, it surely seems you understand he's in a wonderful place now waiting to welcome each of you when the time is right.

In Christ,

Betty

It was good for a lot of years, and I'll always be grateful for the time we spent growing up together and the times we reconnected as adults. But it ended too soon.

You were always a good big brother and I will miss you deeply until we meet again.

Wishing you strength for today and comfort in the days ahead, knowing how much your loved one meant to so many.
