Not sure what to say?

One of my favorite teachers all time. I learned so much, many life lessons. He is one I will never forget. My Junior High years at Fowler. Spencer Mills

One of my favorite teachers all time. Enjoyed bachelor living class, learning to cook and sow. I took every class I could with Mr.Sempert. Fowler 7th..8th..9th.we were last freshman class at old Fowler.
Many fond memories...

I taught school with Don at Fowler Junior High 1963-65. I was the girls physical education teacher when he taught the boys. He was such a great teacher and person. He was so much fun to be around. I learned so much from him, being as this was my first teaching job. We kept in touch for many years but lost contact when I moved to Seattle. I know how much he loved fishing and the outdoors. Heaven will certainly enjoy having Don in attendance. Blessings to your family

Don Sempert was my vice principal in the late 1970s. He taught me how to build my very first fishing rod and handled the disciplinary responsibilities and worked with students in a manner that still has me remembering him fondly. My condolences to his family.

Mr. Sempert. Such an integral part of my junior high life. I'll never forget his kindness and understanding, when I was being a complete stinker. Such a wonderful teacher and inspirational human being. I'm so sorry for your loss. Linette June Holcombe -Robertson

My Condolences to the family. I have thought about Don Sempert over the years and the impact he had on me. He was an amazing PE teacher, Coach (7th grade flag football), and friend. He had a unique style of teaching. He could apply discipline with style when I needed it and gained my respect. He helped we in so many ways and could go on and on how a special person and friend he was. "God bless you!"

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

The boy Mr. Sempert knew

We moved to Terrific Tigard when I was twelve and my first year at Fowler I was blessed to have Mr. Sempert as my PE teacher. Loved him immediately and had total respect for him. My favorite activity with him was marching out back of Fowler with him calling out commands. 1968

I had Mr.Sempert for my 7th grade teacher. I recall all of the girls really adored him but things calmed down after he got married during that school year! He was a really good athlete and I was able to play on his basketball team for 3 years. I was one of the students who rode with him to the plane crash down toward Wilsonville. I kept in touch with him the past several years and visited him at his home about one year ago. I am glad he was able to live a full and productive life.
