Michael Laufer

I enjoyed working with Mike during his time at Bell MS. He could be counted on to do the best for the students entrusted to him. Mike was smart funny and dedicated.

My daughter had Mr. Laufer in a art class at Bradley Tech. She told me that he was and still is her favorite teacher. He taught her so much. Rest in Peace Mr. Laufer.

My deepest sympathy and prayers are with you. I worked with Mike for many years at Bell M.S. He always had a smile or a joke and the halls filled with color. His students created beautiful works of art that decorated our halls. Your beauty and shinning memories will always be with me. You will be missed.

Mike was one of the first people I met when moving ino room 242 in
August, 1996. Yes, he immediately let me know about his politics, but I found out about his warmth a bit later. He, Ed Romans and I took a good bit of ribbing when we went to see "The Full Monty" together. The three of us often went to dinner or the bars together. In closing I'd like to say:

So long, my friend,
I'll never forget
The discussions we've
Had and the way you
Showed your love and...

I worked with Mike for many years at Bell. My second year at Bell, he was a fellow ex. ed. teacher across the hall from me. He had a good sense of humor, always ready with an entertaining story. He has touched many lives and will be remembered fondly.

I worked with Mr. Laufer at Bell Middle School for 12 years and will always remember his spirited "political debates" with Mr. and Mrs. Hanson. He was a great co-worker and I think of him each day, teaching in Room 104 next to me, always cheerful, caring, compassionate, full of timely wisdom - an all around true teacher in every sense.

We extend to you our sympathy and prayers. We remember Mike from school in Hartford and as a neighbor. He will be remembered

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

Please accept my condolences regarding your loss. Mike was a supportive colleague to me when I began my teaching career at Bell M.S. He always had a smile and a joke for me at the end of the day. He taught me the importance of taking time to laugh with my students as we learned together.
I will remember Mike and your family in my prayers.
