Duane L. Yoder

Dear Scott and Beth, I'm so sorry for your loss. You know, we all loved your Dad, and loved hanging out at your house. He was such a great man and a fun principal. I'll never forget his grace as Karen Bailey and I did the morning announcements. I'm sure he grimaced more than once at our silliness. He was so accommodating. My thoughts and prayers are with you both. May all the great memories carry you through.
Sincerely,
Ruth Damude Bowman

Mr Yoder was Great principal, man and mentor to all his students. He was one fine man. Prayers for his family.

Mr Yoder was my principal at Madison. He was always kind and nice. I'm very sorry for your loss.

I graduated from Mansfield Madison High School in 1966 and Taylor University in 1970. I was hired in 1970 at Madison High School to teach American Government. Mr. Yoder was the first principal of my 40 year teaching career. I was saddened to hear of his passing, and I want to send my thoughts and prayers to members of his family. My father and his family are all from Loudonville, Ohio, and I did not know that Mr. Yoder and I had that connection.

Mr. Yoder was Asst. Principal at Wooster High School when I was a student. His smiling face greeted me in the mornings. He was always friendly and positive, and was there for any student who just needed to talk. A caring man who helped so many Students, Bless you Mr. Yoder... and thank you.

I was lucky enough to have Duane as a principal when I was at Madison High School as a student. Many years later, Duane came out of retirement to become one of the principals at Madison South where I was teaching. We have lost a great man and those of us who were lucky enough to know him will miss him.
