Not sure what to say?

Mr. Rosebrook was my 5th grade teacher at Greenfield. He was one of my favorite teachers of all time. He was genuinely funny, creative, and energetic, making each day at school exciting and interesting. I loved to write stories and he was so encouraging and would even let me read them to the class. A truly inspired and inspiring teacher. So very sorry for your loss.

Mr. Rosebrook was my 5th Grade teacher in 1980. Oh, how we all loved him. He was the kind of teacher who made us feel safe, listened to, and excited to be at school. He taught us so many things, kept us completely engaged, and made us feel so lucky to be in his classroom. Every day was an adventure! My heart goes out to his family and loved ones. Please know how much of an impact he had on our lives. This teacher will never forget him.

I have just read about Rick's passing and am so saddened. I met Rick when I first began teaching at Greenfield Elementary. He would soon be on his way to Maple Avenue but I had the opportunity to become well acquainted with his easy and frequent laugh and his commitment to making learning fun for his students. He touched the lives of many. My deep sympathies to the Rosebrook family. May his memory be a blessing.

Rick, Mr. Rosebrook, was my 4th grade teacher at Greenfield in 1978. I thought of him often through the years. Rosebucks, skiing, free time basketball with coach Gary K. and AV club. He definitely made a difference in my life. My condolences to the family.

My deepest condolences to the Rosebrook family. I worked with Rick at Maple and Greenfield. What a great man and teacher. He could always make yoy laugh

So sorry for your loss. RIP Richard.

We were all deeply saddened to hear of Rick’s passing. We have so many fun and cherished memories from our days in Porter Corners, living next door to Rick, JoAnn and family. He always had a way of making us smile.
He touched many lives.
Our condolences go out to his family and friends.

My deepest condolences to the family. I remember many funny stories and Ricks contagious humor. It was always a good day when Rick was on ski patrol duty.
