I was so sorry to hear of Mr. Jelinek's passing. I knew him from Grant and later, we became neighbors. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Mr Jelinek was a great science teacher and I carried many of the lessons he taught into my own classes and work with the boy scouts. I am glad I got to tell him that before his retirement.

I can still remember Mr. Jelinek sitting on the edge of the table swinging his legs saying... "What got new for me today" he had such a great since of humor and he always made me laugh in class. He was such an awesome teacher! He will be missed by many. RIP, Mr. Jelinek and fly with the Angels <3
