Not sure what to say?

Madeline- I just recently became aware of Tony's death and I want to say how saddened I was to hear of it. Tony was my classmate at Kutztown Univ. 1963-1965 . He was a great friend and encouraged me when I wasn't doing well in our Chem. class. He was always upbeat and was full of suggestions--one of them was to always keep an extra pair of socks in your bookbag!

I am the cousin of Janice Paul Schuler who I think was a neighbor of yours.

My sympathies to you and your...

great teacher enjoyed his class and great sense of humor, my son had him also in high school. great person. happy to have known him

So sorry for your loss.
May the God of tender mercies and comfort give you peace.

To the family of Tony:
It saddens me to hear about the passing of Tony. He was a great fellow teacher with a terrific personality who enlivened the room when he entered. I still smile when I recall the funny stories that he told about the characters Ying and Yang. He made the whole room roar with laughter. He was a great teacher who helped make P'burg High a great school. May he rest in peace with the Lord.

I had Mr. Getsko as a teacher for science and biology way back in the 70's. He was a fine teacher and made science fun. Prayers go out to his family and may he rest in peace. Class of 1973.

Thank you Mr. Getsko for opening up the world of science to me. I fell in love with science because of you and continued on in to nursing. You were the teacher I always remembered and will be the teacher I will never forget. Thank you. PHS class of 1972

To Getzko Family, He was one of my favorite teachers at PHS class of 73. Condolences to his family and RIP Mr. Getzko!

I hated biology but Mr. Getsko somehow made it enjoyable. My identical twin sister and I both had him in differently scheduled classes. He sweetly nicknamed us "tee-hee 1" and "tee-hee 2". May all of his family remember him in a blessed way. Be strong and my prayers are with you all.
Sincerely, Donna Exley-Yakich (class of 1973)

My sincere condolences to the Getsko family. Mr. Getsko was a great teacher.
