Not sure what to say?

Love and warmth going to his family as the holiday season comes to an end. He is always with us, so strong a spirit. Light and love.

I was a student of Mr Bahl at Clemente High School, 1975 or 1976. He was a fine teacher and have thought about him until I searched the internet. I am 53 yo old now and will continue to remember him as a fine teacher. Thank you. Alberto Trinidad, 2152 N Claremont Ave., Chicago, IL 60647.

I frequently think of Mr. Bahl who was my english teacher in 1976 and 1977. Today, I decided to google him and learned that he had passed. My condolences to his family. I'd like you to know that he had a profound effect on my life and my only regret is that I didn't find a way to stay in touch with him. He was a very special person.

Thank you all for the amazing service. I know that Tony would want Brendan thanked for his full, moving eulogy and for being such a stand up guy and admired son-in-law. Thank you, too, Michelle and Amy. The torch has been passed. Best to all, March Bracken

Dear Amy and Michele and Family,
We have just come from your most extraordinary memorial for Tony. In addition to the beautiful poetry of his family, friend after friend spoke of Tony's character: his magnanimity, his deep intellect, his integrity, his fearlessness. There were tears and there was laughter too. It was a moving afternoon, an unforgettable afternoon, a tribute to a most remarkable man. We feel privileged to have been invited to this memorial and honored to have known...

Michelle, and Amy, I am so sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful person. Please let me know when the service is. He was humanity walking.

Michele,
We are all going to miss Tony. He added so much to our
monthly luncheons. We'll always remember Tony as a good
friend, a great teacher, and someone who made our lives
fuller.

Michele, my thoughts are with you and your family. I wish I'd known your father - but through what you and others have shared, I know he was a truly remarkable man and he leaves a beautiful legacy in the work he did, the family he loved, and the many lives he touched.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your
time of grief. May your memories bring you
comfort.
