My condolences to Mr. Cole's family. I was a student at Bishop Luers High School. My 50th reunion is next weekend and we were posting on Facebook about our favorite teacher. I said Mr. Cole! I majored in English at St. Francis College(University). Life took me in another direction, but I love English and have fond memories of Mr. Cole. I see he has a FB page and it's great to see his posts. I'm sorry to hear he's passed away. May he rest in peace.

I had the pleasure of working with Charlie at Dana for several years. Charlie made our job fun and coming into work pleasurable. We had many conversations about life and many laughs. Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Charlie will be dearly missed. My heart goes out to Barb and all the family. Love you Charlie
