Not sure what to say?

Our family was both shocked and heart-broken to learn of Mr. Fidler's death. I shook his hand and thanked him just recently at a high school event involving our daughter. He was as kind and humble in person as he was when addressing an auditorium of hundreds. Our children grew up in East Hampton schools and Mr. Fidler was a part of the core educators that made both the schools and town great. God Bless his family and give them peace. And may he rest in peace. Amen.

John - like a Stonewall at Manassas VA June 2017

My thoughts and prayers are with you all, what an impact you have made on this world. I have the privilege of working with Jack - who is most definitely following in your footsteps. Sending love and support.

All the tributes to John describe the young student John I knew when I worked at the South Windsor High School Library. He was smart, kind, athletic, thoughtful . . . and there was always that little spark of mischief. Bruce and I send our heartfelt sympathy and love to each of his family members.
