Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Sedlacek’s passing. Please know his family will be in my prayers.

Principal Sedlacek was always smiling and stood tall as he walked the hallwaysgenuinely concerned for the wellbeing of all. He blessed my life.
Class of ‘76

In the early 1950's my father Don sang tenor in a Doane barbershop quartet alongside the talented bass voice Dick Sedlacek. From the Hilltop Four began a friendship between Don, Nancy, Dick and Pat that included weddings and vacations over the decades. My condolences and prayers to the family.

Peace, Love and Blessings, Susan Goodrich

I will always remember Mr. Sedlacek with fond memories. It was such a joy and honor to work in the office and get to know him. He was a great listener and helped me through some tough times in High School. I always enjoyed seeing him downtown when I worked at the Shepherds Christian store in later years. He had a wonderful, warm smile. Class of 1973

I send heartfelt condolences to all of Mr. Sedlacek's family. Praying God will comfort you in your loss. What a beautiful video tribute to a man admired and appreciated by so many! Class of '77

Truly sorry for your loss. I always thought he was a support for the students. He towered above me and others in height and I thought of him as a daunting person until you got to know him. He was a big softy. He loved his job and it showed in his giant smile he gave you when talking to you. I hope your memories bring you great comfort. Class of 1983

We have such fond memories of Mr. Sedlacek. So grateful for his impact on our lives. (NPHS Classes of 1976 & 1977)

RIP, Mr. Sedlacek. I’m from the class of 1966 and you were one of the speakers at our 40th class reunionbringing the house down with your comments about the mini-skirts of the sixties! You also reminded us that we were the first class of seniors when you took the position as principal at NPHS. Thanks for the memories!
With sympathy,
Carolyn Webb Anderson

I remember in my senior year at NPHS, the school had added the old junior high to enlarge the school. I was always late to 2nd period and my teacher complained to Mr S. When he talked to me about it, I invited him to walk it with me. He met me outside that classroom when the bell rang and we walked the 4 blocks from the east side to 2nd floor west side. We only had 4 minutes to accomplish this through crowded halls and the bottleneck between buildings. The bell rang as we were...
