I was so sorry to hear that Mr. Toole had passed. I was his principal when he worked in Goldsboro NC. He often spoke of his girls and he was a good worker. My prayers are with you.He was liked by the staff and students. He was very supportive of my vision and mission. We need more caring teachers like him.
