Richard B. GRACZYK

Was scrolling a Grand Island FB page and came upon this. Brought back great school memories of a a kind and beautiful man. Such a great teacher. Always know your spirit is alive and well.

Mr. Graczyk was my 8th grade science teacher-and one of the stand outs. G.I. had wonderful science teachers, especially at the high school. He was the vault to the next level. I still remember my Science Fair Project in his class: Experiments with Plants. I killed all but one, even the control plant. The plant that lived was the beer plant. He thought it was hysterical. I am so glad to have had him as a teacher, and I am so sorry for his family that they lost him recently.

To Dick´s children, I am sorry I was unable to attend this morning´s service. I worked with your Dad at the Middle School. He was a dedicated teacher who was reliable and caring. I am sorry he is gone but I hope you cherish memories his memory. My sincere condolences.

To Mr. G´s family - I had him for 8th grade science - He was one of my favorite teachers at Grand Island! You had an awesome Dad! Taken way too soon! You are in my thoughts and prayers!

I had Mr. G for science back in the late 90´s & he really was a great teacher. Sorry to hear of his passing. Sending my deepest condolences during this time.

Mr. Graczyk was my 8th grade science teacher. He was funny, dedicated kind and a good mentor. He always had a nice word and funny joke. He will be sorely missed!!

One of the best teachers of all time and Grand Island. My condolences to his family!!!!!

I will remember him as a good teacher and a kind man. He always had a smile for everyone. My condolences to his family.

My condolences to the family in your loss. It is with fondness that I remember 8th grade science class with Mr. Graczyk in 1974. As a matter of fact I was just thinking of him on Christmas morning when my son gave me a pack of Violets in my stocking!
