Not sure what to say?

Mr Christensen was my favorite teacher at Rockford High School. I have thought often of him through the years. I was in his government class. I learned so much from him and still apply what he taught me in real life. I just thought I would google him today and now to find he passed has really saddened me. Please accept my condolences. I admired him so much.

I had MR. Christensen for psychology class in 1976. It was my favorite class. He was a great teacher and I still have my notes.

So sorry to hear of Bob's passing. We had a chance to talk with him at MVP while we were exercising and we got caught up on our families. Sending our love and prayers to all of you.

I'm sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I had the opportunity to teach with Bob for my whole career of 35 years. We shared the same planning period so we had many interesting conversations. Since Bob was a senior teacher of 3 years when I arrived, he was one who helped explain to me the "ropes of the profession". It was not easy back in those days because I was one of 10 women who taught in a sea of men. I was very grateful for his help and kindness. My condolences and prayers go out to...

Mr. Christensen's psychology class is the reason I went into that field. I think of him often when I play the 80's radio station. I remember him saying the music we listened to in high school would be the music we listened to all our lives. I thought he was crazy at the time. He was right! He was a kind man and a very interesting teacher.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Mr Christensen was one of my favorite teachers at RHS, and my very first psychology teacher. I remember him fondly.

I was so saddened to hear of the loss of a wonderful man. Mr. Christensen was a great teacher. I wasn't very interested in history or government but he was a the kind of teacher that brought it to life for me and gave me a desire to learn more. I was blessed to be one of his students many years ago at Rockford Senior High. My prayers are with his family as they grieve his loss.
