Joel Sheaffer

I just received the news of Mr. Sheaffer´s passing from a fellow milt. I had the pleasure of having Mr. Sheaffer as my 12th grade English teacher and Mrs. Sheaffer as My high school choir teacher. I´m so grateful for the positive impact they have both had on my life. I´ll always remember Mr. Sheaffer´s sense of humor. Wishing your family love and healing during this time.

I just received the MHS Alum magazine and saw his name in the Staff Death section and was completely shocked! He used to pop into our afterschool yearbook class and joke around with us. I never had the pleasure of having him as my English teacher, but I want his family to know that he will be missed. Thank you, Jody, for helping us pass the time with your humor.

I just saw my old friend Jody passed away. I knew him in our younger years from high school and later working in flooring. Later on I seen him as a teacher,coach and a great communicator. God bless him and his entire family forever.

I had the opportunity to play for Coach Sheaffer for all 4 of my high school years. I will never forget his positivity during our hardest moments and his confidence in all his players.

As a person, he made sure to care and to Make each and every one of us feel as important. As great of a coach as...

As a grateful alumnus of Milton Hershey School, I had the privilege to met and watch Jodi as he coached MHS baseball. And to engage with him even more after he retired, as he earned his induction as an Honorary Alumnus of our home/school! Jodi was always a positive influence on the students, athletes and all those around him. Including me. His untimely passing hits hard. Heartfelt prayers and condolences to Cristal and all of his family. John Hanawalt `70
