Mr." B" was my Graphic Arts and Printing teacher for four years at Williamsville South. I went on to pursue this career and entered the college of my choice with his mentoring and leadership. I still go to work every day with the values that he helped me form during those early years.
I worked part time in the summer and late afternoon with Mr B as he published many of the volume's of work at Williamsville.

My sincerest sympathy to the entire family. Mr. "B" as we called our print shop teacher at Williamsville Senior High School in the 60's, was one of my favorite teachers, who assisted me greatly in choosing my profession as a printer over the years, starting my business in 1969. Many fond memories of a great man who taught me so much. He touched many lives in school and was great at what he taught. It was a pleasure to have him as a person to look up to in my growing days. I'm sure there are many others who felt the same way over the years. Prayers for him & all the family.
