George Jung

I had Mr Jungs math class twice. He had a unique way of keeping control of his classes in an overwhelmingly male school (1972-76 for me). He knew certain martial arts moves and would be glad on the first day to "demonstrate" a simple hold. I remember seeing rather large fit young men crumble to the floor (in a friendly way of course!) with a simple hand hold. He never had problems in his class! I hope this brings a smile to both his family and those who had the good luck of being in his...

Dear Mrs Zefers Jung, Gisela (Briese) and I are so sorry to read about the passing of your husband. Although we never met him, it is apparent by all of the memories shared on this site that he was a wonderful man. Gisela and I have often thought of you over the years and I know you were Gisela's favorite teacher at Franklin (1961). She graduated with a degree in History from Brockport and taught at Gates Chile High School, before we moved to Ithaca. When I graduated from Cornell in 1969...

George was such a gentle soul. I loved seeing him and hearing his perfect jokes.

When I was in 8th grade I became quite sick and could not attend school for 3 months. Mr. Jung choose to tutor me at home, and not only taught me math, but was an inspiration to me at a time of considerable distress and uncertainty. I had the good fortune to be in his class for the next 2 years and have fond memories of his quick wit and generous spirt, coupled with his high expectations and low tolerance for BS. That was almost 60 years ago. Mr. Jung has left an indelible mark on my life,...

George was a wonderful gentleman, and a great colleague in our Math Dept. at Edison Tech. Our thoughts and prayers to Dama and sons, he will be sadly missed.

Mr. Jung was the epitome of a gentleman and a scholar, and truly one of Edison’s finest teachers. My sincere condolences to his family.

George was my math teach during my life at Edison Tech. He taught me the importance of having my assignments in on time and is definitely one of the teachers that had a great influence in shaping my life. RIP Mr. Jung, you will be remembered.
