Fred Contreras

I would like to know if I can get a copy of the eulogy because I wrote it. If that could be possible.

I and my sisters Lisa and Andrea were fortunate enough to know coach and teacher Fred Contreras at Covina High School. A man of principle and a fine coach and educator. I played basketball for coach Fred at CHS, and very much benefitted from his leadership and mentorship. He was a fine man who is already missed!

Fred was a great man whose company and intelligence I enjoyed. I'm glad to see his kids keeping this spirit alive.

I was his student for 3 years at Covina High School. Mr. Contreras was a dignified, kind man and I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

Kathy, Robb, Mary Frances, and Matt I just heard of the passing of your husband/dad from a former student of his at Northview, who is a sign language interpreter for one of my students. Fred was not only a role model for his students, but also for many of the teachers that worked with him. He was one inspirational man, who touched the lives of many. When I retire from education next year I will recall the fond memories I had working with Fred Contreras!

To the Contreras Family,

He had a gift of bringing out the best in his students. I won't forget this. How lucky I was to be his student at CHS (both as a sophomore and a senior)! As a teacher now for 16 years, I am still striving to be as good as Mr. Contreras was. He has definitely created a legacy. My thoughts are with you.

May the Contreras Family find comfort and healing in each other and all those who cherished the gift of a beloved father, husband, friend and mentor.

To the Contreras Family:

In this difficult time in your lives, may you find comfort in God's Word, the Bible. James 4:8 encourages; "Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you."

My condolences,
SJB.

I was a student of his at NVHS, my condolences to his family.
