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.

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
