Mr.Greenleaf taught me Latin and taught me to drive a car, and he did it with a sense of humor and gentle nudging..he was my hero!!

You were always a breath of fresh air when we would see each other, at parties, picnics or? I do not have your phone number. Maybe you were one of the family can get it to me.

There are teachers that you care in your memory your entire life. Mr Greenleaf was one of those teachers. I learned and have never forgotten. Thank you, Sir. You will be missed but not forgotten.

Dear Greenleaf family,
I didn't last long under coach Greenleaf (washed out after three weeks in freshman football) but always appreciated his humor and gentleness. He seemed to have a joyful demeanor. I didn't know he was a seminarian and a Fullbright scholar, but I'm not surprised. Capuchino has lost a great figure of its history with his passing.
Love to his family.
