Rest in peace, Mr. Langenderfer. You were easily the greatest English Language Arts teacher I ever had. Thousands of young men know how to properly write and use English grammar skills because of you. My own renowned English grammar abilities I owe to you. Be sure to say hello to Mr. Ludwig and Father Bernacki while you're strolling around Heaven making sure everyone is using proper grammar and writing skills.

I was a student of Mr. Langenderfer, perhaps the best teacher I had in my academic life, and credit him for my ability to write. I have very fond memories of him and will never forget his support for Fenwick's Swimming Team. I was fortunately to have the opportunity to correspond with him, after his retirement, so that I could thank him for the gifts he imparted. I'd encourage those that miss him to visit Fenwick's Facebook page, were you can see the respect that he earned, in the many comments.
