I was so sorry to hear about the passing of Mr Swart. I was a memeber of GHS's band from 1979-1982. He was a wonderful band director, and it showed each time we performed. My fondiest memories of high school were times spent in band at Gretna High. My thoughts and prayers are with his family
God Bless,

Dear Swart Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I had the wonderful privilege along with my sister Peggy of being a student of Mr. Swart. I learned the great gift of music through him, that I have enjoyed throughout my life. His discipline brought out the best in us. I appreciated his high standards which though challenging at times, have served me well in life. We were award winning.
On my visits home Mr. Swart always remembered me, and was very kind and friendly. My father, Joe, was very proud of Mr. Swart being a leader at the American Legion. I have been able to keep up with the family through my Dad, even at the distance I have lived from Gretna.
I am so grateful for Mr. Swart's influence in my life, and I am shedding tears of loss and gratitude.
God bless you all.

To Mark Swart,
At this time of your loss I offer my deepest condolences to you and your family. I have fond memories of your Grandfather while we both attended GHS. He was a wonderful man with a wonderful spirit. I pray that you and your family find peace in knowing the blessing God allowed you all to share in the person of Mr. Calvin Swart.

I was so sorry to hear about Mr. Swart. I remember him
so well my first year at Gretna (8th grade). I was in his
"junior" band. My deepest sympathy to Mark (classmate)
and the remainder of his family.

Mrs. Swart and family,I am sorry to hear about Mr. Swart's passing. When I was at GHS, he was an integral part of the school. I'm sure that he will be sorely missed in the school community. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
