Liz,
Larry Joe and I were friends starting in 6th grade in Ottawa. Our friendship continued through high school and into college. We were both Fijis, although 2 thousand miles apart since I was at Oregon State and he was at Illinois. While we did not maintain close contact after college we would enjoy getting together at OHS reunions. There are so many memories that I have and will always remember them and him fondly.

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Kindle Family. I have fond memories of Mr. Kindle and conversations that I had with him when I attended Sauk school and even when I went back and visit after. His desire to see us all achieve did not go unnoticed.

Dear Liz
I was saddened to learn about your loss. Like many others, I have fond memories of our time working together in 162. Larry could always be counted on to contribute to the success of the district by his success as principal of Sauk School. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Looking back at the years at Sauk, you have to realize most of the students were from relatively low income families. That being the case, I think Mr. Kindle did an incredible job maintaining order and discipline. In our prayers we ask God to reward him for his service to our family and community. Our condolences to the family.

Paul and I have such fond and fun memories of those Sauk School days and oh those weekends. The girls reflect on their favorite babysitters and Paula always remembers the dog sitting at the Kindles. With warm wishes and prayers we will keep you in our hearts. Enjoy the memories as we all will.

Mr. Kindle was a wonderful man. I first met him when I was in Kindergarten at Suak School, I went to visit him several times just to say hello. I have often wondered over the years how he was doing. I am so sorry for his family's loss. We will keep the family in our prayers.
