John M. Kring

I just found out about the passing of Coach Kring. He was a tough coach but fair. He was a pretty much serious person, but told the Saginaw News that Mad Dog blocked the Saginaw High punt in 1967. I also met him a few times when he was Principal at Central Jr. High. I will never forget Coach Kring and would like to give him a belated - "Thanks for everything, Coach."

Great teacher with an excellent sense of humor. Gave me props because I wrestled. Sorry to just read this. RIP.

Coach Kring was my coach in football and wrestling. He was a tough guy with a sly sense of humor. Later on, when I managed a halfway house in Saginaw for adolescent boys with emotional and substance abuse problems, Coach Kring was our major Liaison at AHHS, helping to keep these boys engaged and having successes in school. I greatly value the influence he had on my life.

I remember Mr. Kring as a no nonsense Geometry Teacher at Arthur Hill. He used to make anyone caught chewing gum in his class stick the gum on their nose for the rest of the class. Sorry to see you go. My condolences to his family members.

Sorry to hear of John's passing worked with John at Arthur Hill. Presently in Fla and will not beable to play my respects in person.

Mr. Kring was a fantastic teacher of math and of life! He taught he how to think mathematically, not just do the work. My brother and I still talk about his class.
I am so sorry to hear of his early passing. He will always be in my fondest of memories.
He liked to call me "Miss Smith" which I got a kick out of. College math and statistics at MSU was a snap after taking his Pre-Calculus class at AHHS.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

Hugs to you and your family. Thinking of you.

Kris, I'm sorry to hear about your Dad. I spent a lot of time at your house on Hunter and Adams Blvd. many years ago. Prayers to you and your family.

John, you will always be a life master in my thoughts.
