Donald J. Noreika

RIP good Sir

I was so sorry to learn of Mr. Noreika's passing. I always enjoyed his classes and still write my "A's" the same way he did - with the backwards slant.

I have posted a photo that was part of our JCHS Class of '79 yearbook. Mr. Noreika was so serious teaching that skeleton (sporting his tie) AP Biology. He had the entire class laughing!

Please accept my deepest sympathy on your loss.

Mr. Noreika was my high school chemistry teacher. He was a firm, yet engaging teacher. He was considerate of all students, and I benefited from his direct-with-frequent-visuals teaching style. I remember that he was left-handed! He certainly led a fulfilling life, putting others before himself; this obituary was a beautiful summary of one of God's disciples on earth!

Thoughts and prayers to your family... sorry for your loss.... I will miss him..

My deepest sympathy to your entire family.
A wonderful Teacher!

Student from Seton

While our world seems a little darker, the stars in heaven shine brighter with the presence of Mr. Noreika. I will always remember him as a kind and compassionate person.
I had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Noreika as a student at JC and again as a colleague.
God Bless his family in this time of sadness.
