Not sure what to say?

Oh Mr. "Linny"! You are missed every day. You were the best Principal! You should have always been the main principal. I hope you and my Dad found each other up there or over there retelling funny stories from RHS!

Always in my heart! Thinking of Mr. Linehan and his family. My Dad and he were great friends and colleagues at RHS. I´d like to think they are together again and sharing funny stories like they did in the past!

I think of Mr. Linehan often. Not many educators, that I have met as a student nor as an educator, truly CARED about the kids, as he did. He was funny, supportive, and definitely used his voice when needed. When he used that voice, we all knew he meant business. I remember him speaking of his family often and when he did, it was always with a smile. My father, Dick Sullivan, also taught and coached at RHS and always considered Mr. Linehan a friend and great co-worker. Although 3 years have...

I'm extremely saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Linehan. Mr. Linehan was the Headmaster of Randolph High School while I attended in the 90's. After his retirement, Mr. Linehan continued to give back to Randolph and served as the Truancy Officer for the Randolph Public Schools up until his untimely passing. I'm grateful for the many conversations that Mr. Linehan and I have had over the years, your dedication and commitment to the Randolph Public Schools was truly remarkable.

Mr. Linehan was the Assistant Principal when I went to JFK Jr. High for 7th grade and then Housemaster for 8th grade when they moved the Jr. high to RHS. He was always great to me and I want to send prayers for his surviving family and pray that he rests in peace.

My condolences to the Linehan family. I had the pleasure of having Mr.Linehan as my principal for 4 years. What a great man. RIP

A wonderful Principal and a very caring man to students and staff. He made a lasting impression on everyone that crossed his path. He will be missed, but not forgotten. My condolences to his wife and children.

Gerry was a good guy and a great colleague~

I am so sorry to hear this news. Mr. Linehan was far more than a Principal. He went above and beyond his job. He truly loved the students and cared for his staff. I will always hold dear the day he drove into Harvard University on a weekend with his young daughter to cheer me on at the State track meet. RIP Mr. Linehan.
