God Bless Gordon in Heaven. May he Rest in Peace

There is so much that can be said about this amazing teacher. I´m sad that I will never be able to go back and show him all I have accomplished. He has always been an Angel on my shoulder. Thank you for being an inspiration in my life. May you rest in peace while you rock the heavens. Your Birthday song holds true.

Even after 8 years, the memories of being in Mr. Groff´s class still are as real as the day they were made. He was like a father to his students and cared for them deeply. He would always joke with you when you were down and give you a stern talking to when they were acting a fool. Mr. Groff shaped me into the man I am today. I miss him dearly. Rest easy Sir.

God Bless you in Heaven.....Rest in Peace

I was in Mr. Groffs 5th grade class in 2012 give or take a year. Honestly it´s one of the only elementary school class memories I have left- He introduced us to hatchet, I remember watching that movie in his class. He cared about all his students and I absolutely loved being in his class. I had just found out about his passing and wanted to pay my respects. He was a wonderful man and a wonderful teacher. I was truly blessed to have had him as my 5th grade teacher. Just like our 5th grade...

My condolences.
