So sad to hear of a good, honest, sincere teacher's passing....He made a difference.
So sorry to hear about Hal's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Both Elvera and I wish to extend our sympathies to you Judy and your family at this time. It was a pleasure to have known and worked in the same school system with him. Cheerful and optomistic. May he rest in peace.
