Donald L. Berndt

Peggy, Michelle, and Kelly - Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. We remember Mr. Berndt as a caring, but tough teacher/coach who gave his is all each and every day both in and out of the classroom. He was truly dedicated to preparing us for life beyond high school.

Rest in peace "Mr B" from one of the lunch ladies at RCHS. You will be missed.

Peggy and family: I am sorry to hear about Mr. Berndt. I was not able to attend the visitation, but my thoughts and prayers are with you. Take care.

Mr. Berndt was one of my favorite teachers at Riverton High. He tried to pretend he was cranky, but I saw right through him. He was the nicest teacher and really cared for his students. I remember his desk always being messy and he liked it that way, but he would let me clean it up for him every once in awhile. He also let me come in when I free time and just hang out with him:) Great memories from Medical Terminology with Mr. B. My sympathies and prayers are with your family at this time.

Mr. B , you never actually taught me , but every time we met in the hallways you asked me about bass fishing and how it was going. You were a great person and i will miss you...

Peggy and family--I am sorry to read about Don's passing. I used to fear flunking chem, physics, and math classes in high school but somehow with Mr Berndt's help I survived. It is so nice to read the notes from his many former students at Waverly and elsewhere showing how many lives he touched.

Mr. B was by far the best teacher I had in high school. I looked forward to chemistry everyday so I could talk obsessively and have him tell me "twin, shut it." From day one he knew who I was and everyday would ask how sports or life was going. He was a great mentor for life lessons. My thoughts go out to his family, he will be truly missed!

Mr. B was a wonderful teacher. He will be greatly missed by any student who's life he touched. I am truly glad to have known him. I looked forward to his class because he was always willing to go the extra mile for his students. My heart goes out to his family. You'll all be in my prayers.
