Edward J. Kolb II

I am sorry to hear of Mr. Kolb's passing. It is not possible to overstate his impact on my life. I grew up near the Kolbs and was good friends with Eddie, Pat and Eric. We built forts and played in the woods, played hockey on their pond, fished in the creek behind the house. Mr. Kolb took me along with the boys on weekend fishing trips to Oatka Creek. From him I was introduced to, and learned to love, the outdoors. No one in my family fished, camped, hunted, canoed; I learned these things...

I would like to extend my sympathy to Mr. Kolb's family. Mr. Kolb was my 5th grade teacher, class of 1960. Whenever I mention a memorable positive moment about elementary school, my husband, with a smile says, "Mr. Kolb's year?" My response is always yes. Mr. Kolb helped me with my confidence which I lacked and gave me the desire to learn. I am now a teacher for the disabled and during times I think of the optimistic approach Mr. Kolb had with his students. I have aspire to be like...

To the family of Mr Kolb. Mr. Kolb was my fifth grade teacher. He is one of the teachers who inspired me to study math and science. I still have the insect collection that I made for his class. he was a fantastic teacher.

I am sorry to hear about your loss. May time turn your tears to smiles as you remember fondly the times you spent together.
