John Benjamin Fry

Dear Phoebe and family,

I cannot begin to express how very sad I was to learn of Mr. Fry's passing. He was an inspiration to all of his students and I truly admired and loved him.

Mrs. Fry, Karen, John, Little Larry, and families:
My deepest sympathy to you. Mr. Fry was well thought of in school by the students and faculty alike. He always seemed to have a smile and a kind word for everyone. He contributed lots to the community and to mankind. He will continue to be remembered as that PE teacher in shorts, sneakers, and whistle in-hand, who gave positive influence to those West Perry students!

I remember Mr. Fry well. All of those flips on the trampoline! Ping pong in the rec room, balance beam and the unevens (for which I became too tall). He was a very kind and generous man. Linda - class of 81'
