Not sure what to say?

I wonder if this is Dr H Darlington, who was the principal of Forwood Elementary school in the mid 1970's. It sure looks & sounds like him. He was a kind, thoughtful man. I was a student who was a bit awkward back then. I just remember him being kind to me & lifting my spirits. To this day he leaves a lasting impression.

Jerry was the most honorable man I knew!

I was a classmate of Jerry's at West Chester Schools before he transferred to Westtown. He was always a thoughtful, kind and considerate friend to everyone.
To his family, I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your dad.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Dr.D, you were a great man. You were one of the teachers at Keystone that always had a smile on their face no matter what has happened. May you rest in peace. Sorry for your lost childern may you have happy memories of your dad and Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Dr. D was a kind, loving and very wise man who genuinely cared for his students and people in the community. He was someone that you could go to about anything. He touched many lives including mine and I am greatful to have had him as a teacher. He will be missed greatly.

I am so sorry for your loss. I always thought of Dr. D as a very wise and kind man. God bless.

Dr.D was more than a teacher to me. He was a man I'll always admire. He always encouraged me to go see the world and not settle for the status quo. I had a chance last year to see him at the YMCA where we talked for over a hour. Almost ten years after graduation he still had a way of putting things in perspective and encouraging me to do my best. He is a man who left a mark on so many lives.

Not a kinder man out there. Learned a lot of life lessons from him. I will always remember what he taught me.
