Not sure what to say?

Mr. Graff was not my 8th grade teacher, but he was involved in so many of the activities at St. Peter´s that I participated in. He was one of my favorites. Whenever we would run into each other we would talk forever. I´m so happy he was part of the great people and memories I created there. Sending his family and friends prayers and condolences. Rest in peace, Mr. Graff.

Mr. Graff was my 8th grade teacher (c/o1986). He was the first teacher that saw true potential in me and believed in my leadership. I will never forget the day he told me in 8th grade that I would one day be teacher, and he was so right. My deep condolences to his family.

Mr. G was a teacher who became part many families, including mine. He became a dear friend. He even received a license to officiate my wedding. I will forever be grateful for his role in initiating my career in education, his friendship and support. Thank you, Mr. G!

Mr. Graff was one of my favorite teachers at St. Peter's (Class of 89). He always found a way to make us laugh! I would also always smile whenever I'd see him at Candlestick park or an event at the Cow Palace...such an awesome person. Rest in peace, Mr. Graff.

Mr. Graff was one of the best teachers I was fortunate to have at St. Peters. Condolences to his family. May he rest in eternal peace.

My condolences to the family. I was in his first class when he started teaching in 8th class of 81. He was so funny and caring. He took us camping as a class once that was my first time ever going camping. I remember when he threw an eraser at me yelling " don´t you ever stop talking" it was funny. It became a tradition with my family to always stop by at the Giants game and say Hi.

A true humanitarian, a realist, an honest man, loyal friend till the end. Always willing to help. A blessing to have you in this life time. Graff until we meet again. Thanks for everything. Love you forever.

Mr. Graff the greatest teacher We are deeply saddened by the loss. He was a remarkable teacher and an even greater man who always went the extra mile for his students. His kindness and dedication made a lasting impact on us all, and he will be truly missed

Rest in Peace, Bill. I remember Bill fondly from Grammar School at St Peter's, Class of 1957. He & my twin brother were good friends then.
