What a wonderful man, great teacher and principal. Amazing father and grandfather. You took a chance and hired me as a kindergarten para back in '96. You were a sweet boss and and we all admired you.

Such a loss. He was a great man and educator. Always did what was best for the children in his care. He will be missed. My children, husband and I were lucky to have him as our principal.
