Not sure what to say?

He was one outstanding math teacher and I had him for Geometry and pre calculus. I was also a student teacher under him and I learned so much from him. He gave me outstanding guidance in the class room and out of the class room. He was great mentor and I was blessed to know him.

I have fond memories of geometry class and Mr. Thornley, even though he wouldn't let me out of a test to go get my driver's license. Much love to Kendra and family. You will all be in my prayers.

Mr Thornley was a favorite teacher. God's peace and love to all of his family at this sad time

Dear Ruth, Kendra, and family. I have fond memories of being in class with Mr. Thornley and goofing around with Kendra at the family home in Manistee. Your dad was a kind man and was dedicated to his family and his students. You and your family are in my thoughts. My deepest condolences.

Visiting Bill and Ruth and their Corgi in Arizona (Green Valley) later in life where our parents also once lived, was a great getting to know you and welcoming experience.

Glad I had you as a teacher, rest in peace.
