Not sure what to say?

John Kotek was a genuinely good man. I worked with him as a vision itinerant for 10 years, 1987-1997. One thing he always said was, "Kids come first." And he always followed through. He was the best boss I ever had. The world was a better place for having him in it.

Back in 1990, I applied for the job of high school special ed teacher through CESA 6, and John was the person who hired me. He was honest, straightforward, and kind. Later, when we were both retired, we belonged to the same retired teachers´ group, where he could again share his wisdom. The world has lost a really good guy!
