Not sure what to say?

I taught alongside of Dave at Jefferson, and I had the joy of seeing him at Phoebe Home when the retired teachers had a Christmas sing-along. He was always a perfect gentleman, and I am proud to say makes teaching a respectable profession.

Mr. Renshaw was my 6th grade teacher at Jefferson School in 1967-68. He was an excellent teacher, well liked and fondly remembered by his students.

Dear Mr. Renshaw, although you were not my 6th grade teacher you taught math to our class in 1976. I would like to convey to your family and your spirit a sense of real thanks. You are an excellent teacher. Thank You! Stephen

He was my 6th Grade Teacher, at Jefferson elementary in Emmaus. A great man, and a wonderful teacher. I won't forget him.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Mr. Renshaw was my sixth grade teacher at Jefferson School in Emmaus in 1961. He was my oldest daugher's teacher in the mid-1980's. He was a good and fair teacher. Please accept my condolences for your loss.
