Not sure what to say?

Robert McGraw was a lovably colorful gentleman and an outstanding teacher. He strove to ensure that every day's lesson was fascinating and entertaining. It's some 35 years since I last saw Mr. McGraw, but I remain grateful for his enduring positive influence in my life.

I had Mr. McGraw for American History at Worcester State way back in the late 60's. He was a dynamic teacher. His method of teaching was to call on you when you least suspected it. It kept us focused. I used this technique as an elementary teacher in Medway.
I used to see him walking around Hopkinton at church or at the library. I will miss him.

I have been the secretary of the History Department for over 20 years. I so enjoyed the lively conversations with Prof. McGraw. He was a gifted teacher and my son Tim took every class that he offered. My deepest sympathy to his family, he spoke of you often and loved you all so much.
