Mr. Erbes inspired many students strive to reach their full potential. He made each of us feel that, to him, every student was worthy of his time, there weren't many teachers who did that.

Always a gentleman, always respectful, inspired me to learn what a library has to offer, and made me a life-long library user and avid reader! RIP Mr Erbes.
