John W. Yaklich

My favorite teacher from NE class of 71. Always fair and he had eyes in the back of his head! RIP Sir

You have made your final march down the lonely dusty trail. You are now relieved from your post. A job well done fellow veteran. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom. The final bugle has sounded and taps is about to sound ending a successful career as a nation´s defender. Farewell fellow veteran. A Navy Vietnam Veteran.

I remember Mr. Yaklich well from RHS. When I was a student, I always had questions. He took the time to answer them all. He was firm but fair. I'll never forget that. My condolences to his loving family.

My Husband and I were students of Mr. Yaklich (`76-`78) at Northeast Jr. High. We have nothing but Great memories about being His student! I found that He was a very funny guy, once you were able to get passed his stern exterior!!! Heaven has gained a beautiful Angel!!!

Great teacher.

Dear Yaklich family, I am deeply saddened to know that John has passed away. We must thank him for his talented daughters, who have enjoyed a life of teaching and performing music. Please accept my most sincere sympathy on your loss. With love, Linda Ferraro

I had John Yaklich as a homeroom teacher and classroom teacher in 8th grade at Northeast Jr. HS. He was a great teacher and person. Fond memories of my Jr. High School Days. Years later our paths crossed as we were both Tour Escorts for Roamer Tours Travel Agency. My condolences to Janet and his entire family. Al Sack Anaheim, CA
