Read MoreRod will never be forgotten! What a bright spot in the school day whenever I saw him chatting with a teacher, dealing with a student or when I went to him for help.

I'll never forget Rod. Some of my fondest memories at Riverside Middle School were of him and how he related to all the students. He was a father figure to many of them and a mentor.

I'm so sorry to hear of Mr Tulonen's passing. He was a great principal who commanded respect from the students. I remember how involved he was with the students. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

To Anna and the Girls,
It's been along time since Summit St. and FHS. Rod was one of the gang and a great classmate and a special friend. I'll miss his mischievous smile and quirky little sayings. Seems like yesterday we were hanging out at the Lunch figuring out our next escapade.
The crew is getting smaller. Love you Rod!!!

My English teacher in my sophomore year at Leominster High School. His classroom wit and dedication are etched in my memory.
