Not sure what to say?

I worked with Mark on the Waconia High School yearbooks for almost twenty years. He took all the photographs, and was a fine photographer. I knew he was a well liked teacher by the kids who worked on the yearbook staff. He will be remembered for how dedicated he was to his students and to the school. RIP Mark.

An amazing teacher & basketball coach! Pass em over pass em up, hustle up! "Dannewitz & Decker may not guard each other" Gerrrr-und! So sorry for your loss. He was well loved by all at Waconia High School.

"ALL the -one words, ALL the -body words, Each, Either, Neither are all singular pronouns." I still remember that almost 30 years later. I learned so much about English and Grammar from Mr. Torborg. He was one of the good ones.

Mr. Torberg was one that really made a difference. His style and method of teaching just worked for me. I still remember clear as day and am very thankful. Thank you Mr. Torberg. Deepest sympathy to all.

So sorry for your loss. He was one great teacher.

Pass em over, pass em up, hustle up I loved being your TA 2 years in a row I loved your funny stories I loved how you brought joy to all the teens in your class, even those who didn´t enjoy learning you brought it out of them. And I loved how you always knew how many days until Britney Spears birthday. May you rest easy sweet Mr. Torborg. RIP -Molly Elasky class of 2011

Mr. Torberg was one of my favorite teachers. I will always remember his quirky rhymes and antidotes. Turn to page 131 rhymes with fun, must be grammar time. LOL. My sympathies and prayers for the family. Joann (Eden) Vanderlinde

His English class was the bomb. He always had a way to help you enjoy Shakespeare. He was also a staple to our Marching band. Will never forget you Thank you for all the great memories.

Please accept my deepest sympathies for the loss of your brother and uncle. Mark and I joined the English department at WHS the same year. We collaborated on theater projects and curriculum for almost 30 years. He left an indelible legacy on the lives of many students and colleagues. May he RIP as we accept this loss.
