You are fondly remembered! I was a student in your physics class at Palm Springs High School in 1985-86. To demonstrate frequency principles you rolled in one morning with your Cello (or was it a Bass? sorry, memory not exact!) and kept us all believing that Physics was something all of us could learn and not be afraid of. You put us into learning groups before that was a thing. You treated the girls the same as the boys. I continued my science studies through college, thanks to you. You were a wonderful teacher and human being, and I'm sorry that you are gone.

I remember meeting you the first time I camped out for concert tickets in 1981 in Greensboro. The first time I saw you I thought wow...he's a beautiful man! You were so musically talented . I'll never forget how handsome you looked in your long tail tux when you performed for the GSO concerts. RIP. Gone too soon.
