RICHARD AHLBERG Sr.

I could not have had a better place to start my 45 year career in education. Dr. Ahlberg, his staff, and fellow faculty members could not have provided a more supportive role for me. I went on to teach at Catholic High School in Pensacola, FL (my Alma Mater) and McGill-Toolen Catholic High School in Mobile, AL where I became the first lay Principal at each school. I spent 24 years in administration. No doubt, Dr. Ahlberg helped me lay a foundation for my success.

When a person dies, he no longer is where he was-but now is wherever you are.

Seeing Dr. Ahlberg's obituary in the Washington Post brought back memories from more than 60 years ago when he was a teacher at Landon and tutored me. I was cheered to see the long life and success in teaching and life he enjoyed after leaving there. He was such a kind man and born to be a teacher; he could take the indecipherable subject and make it clear to those lucky enough to learn from him.

Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your dear love one. May God give you a measure of comfort. Sincerely

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Please find peace in knowing that He understands your grief and He cares. 1 Peter 5:6, 7

Offering condolences to the family. May the peace of God surround and comfort you during this time of sorrow. Rom.15:33

To the family and friends of Richard Ahlberg Sr.: Please accept my dearest and heartfelt sympathy; I am so sorry for your loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family during this difficult time. Isaiah 61:1,2
