Our sincerest sympathy

I was in Mr. McMahon's second grade class the year that his son was born. I vividly remember coming back from specials and being informed that he was at the hospital with his wife. When he returned, he was the happiest man I have ever seen. His family so clearly meant the world to him. There was also the day that he mentioned his name was Brian, and I couldn't believe my ears, because all along I was so sure that his first name was Mister. He truly made teaching look easy and fun every...

Mr. McMahon was one of a kind! He was a wonderful teacher and always greeted everyone with a smile. We will miss seeing him at Saturday mass, but know he will always be with us. To the McMahon family: We all share in this loss with you. Our deepest sympathy.

We really are grateful for ALL the positive contributions Brian made personally and professionally! He DID improve life and we are better because of him.

Mr. McMahon was a beloved teacher to my three children: Rachel, Brady, and Olivia Reichardt. He was inspirational and will forever be remembered as a "favorite" teacher. Olivia (11) found postcards that Mr. McMahon sent her and held them as she cried when she learned that he had passed away. He was a great man.

The impact that a teacher can have on one's life is amazing. I was reflecting on all of the wonderful teachers I had when I was younger just the other day. I was shocked when I heard today that Brian had passed. It must be about 32 years since Brian was my 3rd grade teacher and I can still remember the kindness and humor he displayed. He truly was one of my favorite teachers. My prayers go out to his family.

Dear Jean, my heart goes out to you and the family. Brian was such an angel . There are no words to express my sorrow for you at this time, you are in my prayers.

You will be missed Mr. McMahon. What a wonderful educator who saw the potential in our child and helped her over the hurdles along the way!
