Richard F. Pavilon

I loved Mr Pavilon. Great sense of humor in spite of his circunstances. He loved, riders in the sky and anything about lithuania. God bless and rest easy, love the Idol of American Youth! Vince Maher! Vallejo Ca class of 1991 SAINT PATRICK SAINT VINCENT HS.

I remember Mr. Pavilon. He was my history teacher at St. Willibrord High School in Chicago in 1976. He was a wonderful teacher and a wonderful man. He was well liked. I´m sorry to hear of his passing.

My brother was/will continue to be in my heart...the ultimate quiet, gentle hero...courageous to the bone and able to communicate with almost anyone.

Mr Pavilon was a great teacher for world history. We had different "political" views but Mr Pavilon allowed us to "debate" him. I am still strong in my political beliefs today because we were not censored but allowed to debate. I went on to be a professional speaker, getting paid for talking. It is because of Mr. Pavilon. A great listener, a great teacher, and a great American. You will be missed and always admired!

What a beautifully written obituary for Mr. Pavilon., the best history teacher ever.It truly captured his spirit.

I remember Mr. Pavilion. He was an awesome teacher. I remember him from 1970-1974. Glad he lived a great life after St. Willy´s. Had him for World Geography and as a substitute many times. Always enjoyed the way he taught. May he soar in Heaven with the Angels. Well done Good Servant, well done.

In loving memory of a wonderful person and teacher.

Mr. Pavilon was one of the most memorible teachers that I met at St. Willibord High Scool in Roseland. He made history interesting. He taught most of my brothers and sistors there. We talk about him somtimes in good ways. He was a good man. It apears that he lead a long and interesting life after he left Chicago.

I remember him always cheering our football team on. He was kind and everybody loved him.
