Me bender was one of the best subs in the RRMS building and he will always be in the hearts of every one of his students. I can clearly remember when one of our teachers was out for an extended period of time, and us kids were lucky enough to have him as our sub. He brought us fun treats and stories every day. If i could choose one sub i would love to have had forever, it would be mr bender. He was so fun and inviting and everyone liked him. He appreciated the kids that behaved, but didnt...

I had Mr. Bender countless times as a substitute teacher all throughout middle school. He is known to many students and has touched a lot of our hearts in different ways. Mr. Bender was an angel on earth and truly loved being around us as we did to him. A special man he was.

Semper Fi Mr.Bender thank you for your service in the name of our country and in service of teaching future generation.

I had Mr. Bender as a substitute throughout middle school. He was always mine, and everyone else´s, favorite sub. He would ask us trivia and when you got it right he would throw a smarties to you. He always wore the same red scar everyday and I´m devastated I won´t get to have him as a sub again. He touched everyone´s hearts and i´m so glad I got to have him in my life.

I worked with George at Long Lane School. He was a dedicated, hard-working, kind man with a good sense of humor. He was a great role model & emulated positivity. I remember that he enjoyed people, always spoke with pride & joy about his family. May all the awesome memories bring comfort to his family. George is resting in peace after a life well lived.

He was my long-term sub in sixth grade. He brought food for me and my friend, it was some of the best I´ve ever had. He was my favorite substitute teacher. He was such a kind soul, and he will be greatly missed. My deepest condolences.

He was my substitute teacher back in 6th grade to sub for my science teacher, it was one of the funnest and most enjoyable 3 weeks I´ve ever experienced. I will never forget the jolly ranchers, the daily jokes, the sugar cookies, and his wonderful stories he has told to the class. Rest in peace and i express my deepest condolences to the family
