Joseph Granchelli

Mr Granchelli. So happy to see you lived a long life. You were my 6th grade teacher in 1961. I think of you often ,even now at 72 years of age. My mother left when I was 7. I came home from school every day to an empty house. My self esteem was very low. Teachers in the lower grades humiliated me for not doing my homework or coming to school dirty.

Mr. Granchelli was my sixth grade teacher at Forest Park way back in 1978. He was a great teacher and one of the relatively few teachers that I had that seemed to have a genuine interest in his students and a love for teaching. My condolences to Mr. Granchelli's family.

Mr. G is often...
