Not sure what to say?

Mr. Cullen was my chemistry teacher at EHS and the description of him as "...strict, kind and fair..." fits him to a tee...with the caveat that they left out "humble."

Mr. Cullen taught me Chemistry at Estancia. I have nothing but respect and gratitude for this fine man, for he was a wonderful teacher and set the finest example for his students to follow. I am saddened to learn of our collective loss in his passing. You may be gone from our world, but you are not forgotten, Mr. Cullen!

Rest In Peace John Cullen!
