Yesterday

Mr DeRocher was my 8th grade science teacher. I never heard a cross word between Him & a student: because we all respected Him as He respected us. My children also recall Him as a AD / FB field being named after Him. As an older student/ adult He always greeted me with a slight smile. A wonderful Man. My sympathy to his Family

Darien was a classmate of mine since 5th grade through high school and Mary Beth was a classmate of my brother and was my nurse when I had my 2nd child at the Brainerd Hospital. The last time I saw them was at our class reunion. They were both remarkable people! My sincere condolences to the family and friends. Roberta (Theriault) Dosch
