Robert P. Berdoulay

Mr. Berdoulay was a wonderful teacher. This was the class I really looked forward to going to. I treasure the memories of him and the way he taught and made the class so interesting and his patience were endless. Thank you Mr. B for the good times, laughter and education. Carol Amberg Hipkins

Karl and I just learned of Bob's passing and are stuck in some kind of toxic loop trying to reckon how his world will try to balance the loss of his bravado, focus, joy, and heart. As colleagues we saw him inspire his students and peers to not settle, to always reach for what was right. Alan, David, and Rob all caught their Dad's fire. I'm sure that David is calling him out on something this very moment, and Peggy is smiling and waiting for her moment to laugh with them both.

Alan, Rob, and family,
Sincere condolences in the loss of your father. David and I have lost our fathers and truly understand your loss. May you find comfort in reading the many tributes to your father written here. The positive impact he had on the lives of others is remarkable and demonstrates that, though our loved ones may have gone before us, their spirit actually lives on within others and thereby softly lights your path until you meet again.
Blessings and peace to all, David &...

What an excellent teacher. I actually loved biology because of Mr. B. We also had some fun times. I will never forget when he took our whole class out to lunch one day. Arby's in Painter's Crossing. We spent the time talking and laughing. Thanks for the memories Mr. B! You left a lasting impression on so many of your students. God bless his family.

Hunted at the farm with David, after school, had many KEA parties there as well! Great teacher, colleague. I'll miss him, Tim Skiles

I taught with Bob for most of his 35 years and got to know him fairly well. His was the E.F. Hutton voice of the faculty. When he spoke, people listened. He was a strong advocate for the rights of teachers and was never afraid to speak out when he sensed an injustice. Even those who disagreed with him (and there weren't too many) respected and admired him. Unfortunately, I haven't seen him very often since he retired but he is a man that I will not forget. My sincere condolences to the...

Tremendous colleague greatly respected by students ,staff, and administration. It was a pleasure working with him.

Alan and Sara,
I am so sad to hear that your dad/gpa passed. I so enjoyed anytime I was around him and Lauren and Hilary will also hold fond memories. I wish there was something I could do or say to help you through this time, but words fall short as I have come to realize. Me and the girls are always here for you guys.

We, too, grieve the passing of Berdie, my favorite crossword mentor. May God's love sustain you in this sad hour and for many days to come
