My condolences to the entire Toliver family. I had the pleasure of having Mr. Toliver as a teacher at Krebs and I have a lot of fond memories of him. Whenever I talk to someone about Krebs, his name always comes up. I remember how he always told us to “THINK”...he wrote it in my yearbook. He cared about each student and we loved him because he treated us all like we were important and that our opinion counted. As a teenager, that meant a lot to all of us. And who can forget all of the class...

Mr T, you may be gone, but you will never be forgotten. You are an example of the power of one man to positively influence so many. You were right, you don't know, what you don't know, what you really don't know. I do know now though that your influence in my life was a blessing. THINK about it. God Bless you and your family. It was a privilege to know you.

My condolences to the Toliver family. What a great man, mentor, teacher, & coach. Mr Toliver didn't only teach from the books, he taught from life experiences and what was correct. What a fair and honorable disciplinarian, he would always get to the facts before a decision was made.

God Bless,

I'm sorry for your loss of one of the men who was influential in my life. I had Mr. Toliver as a coach at Kreb Jr. High and a teacher back in 1970 and 1971. I also remember one his favorite sayings to us students at one time or another. "Don't make me slap you on that bad head", with only the accent that Mr. Toliver could say it in.
Rest in Peace Mr. Toliver and I'm only saying so long for now and we'll see each other again in heaven.
May God Bless You and Your Family! George...

My condolences to the Toliver family, he was truly one of the best teachers at Krebs Jr. High, I had him for civics and can remember sometimes we would get off task, as Mr.T. would engage us in life stories of his own, a fair and honest man he will be remembered by many.

My condolences to the Toliver family. My sister (who is 10 years old then me) and I are so sorry for your lost. My sister and I often talk about the teachers at Krebs. The first one we talk about is always MR.T and we just laugh at the memories. What a great and loving teacher.
From the class of the 60's and class of the 70's. Thanks for the memories MR. T.

What a wonderful educator, that pushed us to "think" when we were "missing the point!!". Mr. Toliver was one of the best teachers we had at Krebs School. Many things that didn't quite make sense then, eventually did. He was my, & my siblings, teacher in the early thru mid '60's. Thank you Mr. Toliver. Our sympathies to his family.
