Jack F. WOO

January 28, 2011

I found out about Mr. Woo's passing just today and it makes me sad. I have often thought of him over the 30 some years it's been since I attended Grand Oaks. (K-6th) It's funny I was sharing a story with my co-workers just today about Mr. Woo and the paddle he had hanging in his office and the jar of candy that he shared with us when other students weren't looking. He was such a kind and sweet man. He truly did care about the students at Grand Oaks. Mr. Woo, we...

I met Jack at the American Cancer Society Discovery Shop where we both volunteered. Jack was always cheerful, helpful, and friendly. His quiet strength, humor, and dedication were an inspiration. My thoughts and prayers are with Bernice and family.

Jack is surely going to be missed by the Lima Family. Pete, Susan, Vivian, Christine, Peter III, Wendy, Ceaser, Chanel, and Michael. My wife Susan was the first to go to Grand Oaks school and Wendy the youngest of the family was the last. Susan had the priivilge of working with Jack (yard duty,parent). May he rest in peace

I too, went to Grand Oaks from Kindergarten through 6th grade. Not only did I go there, but my father was a teacher there so my relationship with Mr. Woo was uniquely special. Every comment that I have read here truly reflects the amazing person that I remember as a child. I only wish I had a chance to talk to you again and let you know the impact you had on my life. I will miss you! Thank you for always giving of yourself to others. May God bring peace to the broken hearts of those who knew...
