Richter Lanier Halterman Jr.

A gentlemen and wonderful scholar. Rich indeed with his wit with Beowulf. Blessings to you sir!!!

I think back to those high school days and Mr. Halterman was a teacher to remember! A teacher in a generation of teachers we didn't know to appreciate so much at the time. Looking back tho, we know that there were things learned, not just from our books and class lessons, but more than that, we learned how to live life. Yep, life lessons that weren't taught, they were just lived and passed on to us. Thanks Mr Halterman for being in that army of men and women helping to shape me into who...

One of my favorite teachers of all time and he was always understanding and full of patience ,therefore he will be missed my love goes out to him.my teacher from Great Bridge high school "87"

Mr. Halterman was one of the best teachers ever. He not only taught me to love Literature but how to be accountable, prepared and on time. Practices I carry with me today. GOD Bless this wonderful soul. Carolyn Tye McGeorge

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Halterman's passing. He was the kind of teacher that made an everlasting impression on you. I may not remember anything about Beowulf, but I remember Mr. Halterman's wit and dry sense of humor. Sending love and good memories to all who knew him.

So sorry to hear the passing of Mr. Halterman. He was a fantastic teacher. He took a subject that I had little interest and taught me to understand, respect and appreciate it. He treated everyone with such respect and was a true gentleman. I looked forward to attending his class each day. Mr. Halterman was an example to all of us. He had such a positive impact on me that I've never forgotten nor will I ever forget him. Prayers and thoughts to his family and friends. We have lost a great one...

I took English with Mr. Halterman my junior year (97-98) and remember so much he taught me. He helped foster a love of reading and writing that helped shape my career and made a lasting positive impact on my life. I will never forget him. My condolences to his family.

I had the pleasure of working with Lanny in the first years of Great Bridge Junior High School. He was one of my favorites: truly a gentleman and a scholar. Sincere condolences to his family.

Mr. Halterman was my 11th grade in English teacher in 1988, to this day I credit him knowing how to write a research paper and getting me through The Pilgrims Progress.
