Not sure what to say?

It's been a year since Les has died and his friend, Ted Pokorski joined him in the heavenly clouds the same year on April 22, 2024. May they enjoy each others company. I miss them both...and Helen too.

Mr. Greene was my favorite teacher in high school. Thoughts and prayers for his family.

Sincere condolences to the Greene family & friends. Many fond memories of him at Loy Norrix. Rest easy, kind Sir.

A navy friend and happy person.
