He shared his love for education and for all of his students to succeed. He always implored us to go to the LI -BRA-RY! He exposed us to people and experiences that would benefit us and treated us like his children. This special man left a legacy at Central State University and he will certainly be missed! 4G4C4S

He was one of my favorite teachers at Irving School. He was in the halls every morning directing students to home room.And swung a mean paddle .
