Not sure what to say?

I am so very grateful that all 6 of my children were blessed to have had Mr.Fromer as their music teacher at SG He was absolutely amazing! Not only was he a wonderful, unique and enthusiastic teacher, but also a genuinely talented, kind, and loving person I´m pretty sure that I was moved to tears more than once by a song or performance by his SG students My kids truly adored him They were so excited to tell me that "we were singing do-wop in Mr.Fromer´s class today...and I didn´t even need...

Was honored to assist Reed on this project, where he kept the pandemic at bay and music in the hearts of his SG students. Godspeed to a unique and talented man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCSt5kMaRwE

I was heartbroken to learn just this evening of Reed's passing. I met a woman Lisa who had been a student in Miss Abram's kindergarten class and she mentioned that she thought Dave's son had passed. I send heartfelt condolences to Dave, Jacki, Rachel and Gina whom I've not yet met. I knew Reed as an eight or nine-year-old (in fact I have a tape of Rita's song or poem for his 9th birthday), and I knew him as a force of nature -- forcefully and dynamically expressing himself thru his God-given...

We are so heartbroken by the news. Dalton and Peyton´s favorite class by far was music class. And that´s because of Mr. Fromer. The boys would come home singing his songs and telling the jokes that he shared. From some of the on-line classes during Zoom, I was also able to experience the beauty of his teaching. It´s no wonder why his music class was their favorite. He had a gift of touching children´s lives through music and that will forever live on. Heaven gained another angel. We look...

I am sorry that we will be unable to attend Mr Fromer's celebration of life because my son really adored him -and misses him greatly already. Mr Fromer gave him encouragement and a love for music. We have all been singing " Let my Love Open the Door" nonstop ever since seeing his arrangement of at at St Gabriels . We are grateful for all he shared , and hope his family finds joy and comfort in these treasured memories too. -Sarah Bennett and Brian and Seamus Stannard

Reed was an amazing music teacher who inspired his students to sing with passion and joy. It was a pleasure to get to know him as a colleague as well. He put a lot of love into his work, and he will be truly missed. That heavenly choir just got a beautiful addition. Love and hugs, from the Toensing Family

Mr. Fromer will be greatly missed. My son absolutely adored him and always spoke so highly of Mr. Fromer. We will never forget the Covid Fridays where Mr. Fromer would teach the kids a fun creative story and new songs. My younger daughter would sit in for these special classes too. Thank you Mr. Fromer for teaching Frankie all of your favorite songs. You will always have a social place in all of our hearts. Love, The Vitali Family

I went to high school with Reed's uncle, Jon Fromer. When Jon passed away in January 2013, I remember thinking there were very few people in my life who've inspired me to become better - a better human being - every day. Jon did that for me, and with his passing Reed is now doing that for me. Reed was uniquely remarkable, and I've not met a kinder person. Dave and Jackie Fromer, so sorry for the loss of your wonderful son, a friend and teacher cherished by so many. My deep condolences to...

Dear Gina and Family, Sending love from the White Family to you at this time of loss. We so enjoyed his music classes at St. Gabriel School, and during the "Zoom School Year" I got to observe him teaching in Kindergarten and the third grade. Ryan describes him as," Kind, loved teaching us about music, and funny". Maeven said, " He was a really good music teacher!" We all observed his enthusiasm and expertise. He will be missed at St. Gabriel. We were all lucky to have experienced his...
