Mr.Krause.. you came a long way. I remember when you took me to my first trip. You and Russell were amazing coaches and you made sure that the kids were welled token care of.. I will miss you and ill see you again.

So many great memories. I worked the quilt bingo at St. Philip for many years sharing a table with R.J. His job was selling the Pot of Gold, 50/50 tickets. Everyone who purchased a ticket was hoping to win. However, for those of us lucky enough to know R.J., we were the real winners.

God Bless an Excellent Role Model

Working with RJ was a real friendship experience. He was always trying to help someone ,very concern and helpful toward the students. His van was always loaded with children from The E. St. Louis Community. His kindness will never be forgotten. Former Wilson Elementary School Co - Worker
