George L. Case

My father, George L. Case, knew how to live. He was in search of the best this world had to offer. He never stopped his search for learning or adventure. Life and all of its challenges were problems that he looked to solve. This is probably why he had so many talents. He was a man who stood on his own two feet. He was brave and stood by his convictions. He inspired people, including me. I will miss him forever.

When I came to Unites States at the age of 15 (from Iran or Persia), I had the pleasure and honor to meet and be a student of George Lee case at Kirtland High school. My stay at KHS was for only a short year and half (11th & 12Th grades), but I was blessed to meet george's family and become a fourth son of their family. I have known George and his family for 26 years.... Spent many days, weekends and weeks at their old house in Painseville, OH with his beautiful wife Betty Lou and his...

What a great loss for those of us who had the honor to know and learn from him, and a greater loss for those people who never had the honor to spend a few moments with him. In all my years of academia, I never came across another who cared as much about preparing his students to face the world. His impact, as carried by us, his students, has and will continue to make the world stronger.

Mr. Case was my absolute favorite teacher of all time - I graduated from KHS 1989 and had him for Jr. and Sr. English. He taught me so much more than English - he taught me how interest works on loans, how to change the brake pads on my car, and how to push limits in all aspects of life. I loved him and even though I haven't talked to him in 15 years, I feel his loss acutely. My deepest sympathies to you.
