We studied history or social studies and he studied us, I never realized until many years later that seemingly, off the wall questions he asked us like, Where is Berville, Where is Baseline Road, Why do men play football? were probably part of some class he was taking to further his degree in education. A fun guy, the last time I saw him at a class reunion meeting, which by the way, he was the '72 class sponsor, we threw on the aprons and he easily showed me the wonders of cooking pork loin . Never a dull moment with "G" around!

Peace, Love, and Blessings,

I will always remember Mr G so fondly from Lanse Creuse North! He was so dedicated to us students and the school. He made things so much fun with his sense of humor and he taught us so much about life and how to live it. Thanks Mr. G! We will remember you fondly - you will always be in our hearts!

The world has lost a wonderful man. Mr. G was from Armada and went to school with my mother. He called me the "Armada Tomata" and always let me know he was close by! I'm sure Mr. G and my Mom are having an Armada High School reunion, along with Mr. Dooley from MSN, where they are now! Mr. G always put a smile on my face! Rest in Peace.

Mr. G was always ready and available to "listen" to his students concerns and made each one feel like they were valued and important to him!! A rare quality that touched many a "Lancer" or "Crusader" heart! Love you G!!! Tom & Dawn (Carlos) Kling. Class of 75!!

Since Mr. G was not an ordinary person or educator, I can only say that an extra-ordinary man has passed from this world. There'll never be another like him and he and his spirit are already greatly missed.

I think of G often - I would not be the person I am today if it were not for the way he cared about me as a troubled teen. Nobody cared for the kids like he did.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I am so saddened to hear of the passing of Mr.G. I have such fond memories of being called down to Mr.G's office at LCN High School (Class of 84). He is truly a man who will never be forgotten and has cerrtainly left footprints on many peoples hearts. "I always used to say to my son if Mr.G was at your school you wouldn't be getting away with that". My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
