I was in his math class last year, and I wasnt one of his more well behaved students and I apologize for that. Through that though I wish I payed attention a little better, but he was a great teacher and I know I learned a lot from him. I am sorry me and my friends gave him a hard time always talking and etc... But I know that he will be greatly missed by the Oxford Middle School. R.I.P.

Mr.Grammier was one of the best teachers I have ever known. Though I may not have had him, he was still a great person. He will always be remembered and always missed. I wish his family the best of luck.

Mr. Grammier was the best, funniest, most good hearted teacher I've ever had. He taught me so much that I didn't know and what I did know he made fun to do. He was a great teacher and person in general and to his family, you were very lucky to have him. I wish you my condolences. I was really hoping he would be at my graduation. I feel sorry for the future students at OMS because they can no longer experience the fun of having Mr. Grammier. There isn't much I can't say about him but I won't take up your time. I just advise you to stay strong.... I know what you're going through, I lost 2 grandparents in January and 1 in March. And to all those lucky people with God, R.I.P.

Mr.Grammier was a great teacher. He was very funny and smart. He was a tough teacher but, had a good heart. I am not sure how the year will end without him. He will be missed at OMS.

My father was passionate about all of his students and his greatest thrill was demonstrating to them what he already knew: that everyone has the ability to be successful. He did so for me in more than just math. He showed me how to laugh, love, work hard and to motivate those around me.
On behalf of the Grammier family, we truly thank everyone for their prayers and thoughts. We love that he was able to have a positive impact on other minds and lives.

Mr. Grammier was my algebra teacher in 8th grade. I didn't really understand any of it, but he never gave up on me. He was such a wonderful teacher. He had such a good heart. He'll forever be remembered<3

Mr. Grammier was my Algebra teacher this year, and I was so shocked to hear what had happened, I cried. He taught our class so much, and we'll miss him alot. He was one of the greatest teachers I ever had!

Mr. Grammier and myself at last year's graduation. He brought my C math average to an A. Thank you, Mr. Grammier.

Mr. Grammier was my algebra teacher last year, so I know from experience that the Oxford school system has lost a valuable, wonderful teacher. Not only was he passionate about his work, but he also had such a good heart. His students are all thinking of his family during this time.

Mr Grammier was a GREAT teacher and my son was shocked to goto school and find out what happened. He said that out of all the teachers Mr. Grammier was one of the "cool" teachers. He will be missed and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family!
