Not sure what to say?

Lori, Steve and Family,
So sorry for your loss. You're dad was a great father, grandfather and teacher. I don't believe I ever had him as a teacher but I remember classmates saying how much they liked and respected him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at the difficult time.
Much love,
Laura and Wayne Peterson

When I first teaching/coaching at Mt. olive High School in 1960, Ray was on the school board and help hire me. A year later Ray was hired as a history teacher,football coach at Mt. olive and I was his aassistant coach. I had a great experienced with him as a colleague and I had a lot of respect for him. He was a great guy and we all remember that 42 page football play book. Ray coached here only a few years but we he will always be remembered with affection and respect.

Mr. Fyalka was my teacher in Mt. Olive...........good teacher. One time he accused me and my girlfriend (she sat behind me) of cheating because we both had the same questions wrong. We hadn't cheated but he deducted a couple points anyway................we still liked him at the end of the year. RIP Mr. Fyalka...........Linda Osmoe Cruthis

I am sorry for your loss. It doesn't matter how much we know it's going to happen - when it does- it hurts as if we had no idea. Mr. Fyalka was a presence on Lynch Ave, in the classroom and halls at school, and on the sidelines of athletics. Again, I'm sorry.
