Gordon Robert Groff

God Bless Gordon in Heaven. May he Rest in Peace

There is so much that can be said about this amazing teacher. I´m sad that I will never be able to go back and show him all I have accomplished. He has always been an Angel on my shoulder. Thank you for being an inspiration in my life. May you rest in peace while you rock the heavens.
Your Birthday song holds true.

Even after 8 years, the memories of being in Mr. Groff´s class still are as real as the day they were made. He was like a father to his students and cared for them deeply. He would always joke with you when you were down and give you a stern talking to when they were acting a fool. Mr. Groff shaped me into the man I am today. I miss him dearly. Rest easy Sir.

God Bless you in Heaven.....Rest in Peace

I was in Mr. Groffs 5th grade class in 2012 give or take a year. Honestly it´s one of the only elementary school class memories I have left- He introduced us to hatchet, I remember watching that movie in his class. He cared about all his students and I absolutely loved being in his class. I had just found out about his passing and wanted to pay my respects. He was a wonderful man and a wonderful teacher. I was truly blessed to have had him as my 5th grade teacher. Just like our 5th grade graduation "I spread my wings and I´ll learn how to fly, I´ll do what it takes till I touch the sky". If I knew that would´ve been the last time we spoke I would´ve hugged him a bit harder. Till we meet again -Madison A.

My condolences.

So sad to hear Mr.Groff passed, he was the absolute best teacher anyone could have... so many years have gone by and I still remember him vividly, may he Rest In Peace.

he was the best teacher i ever had he was fun full of ideas
and just the very best at what he does i will miss him as

He was an amazing teacher and I really wish I was able to talk with him one last time.

Since life has paused for the time being, I had time to reflect on childhood memories and friends. Gordie was a good friend to me in my early years and I was saddened to learn of his passing when I looked him up. Gordie was one of the nicest kids in our "MacRae family" and I still remember with fondness, putting on a neighborhood play in our garage with him. Even at that early age, Gordie's kindness and gentle demeanor shone through. It sounds like he had a wonderful career and his students were blessed to have had him as their teacher. My condolences to all of you at the loss of such a sweet soul.

My deepest sympathies to the Groff family for the loss of their son, brother, uncle and friend. He was a special man and a gentle soul.

I knew Gordon in High School and was able to hang out on Friday nights with him and group of friends during that time. We had fun, playing Yachtzee with my grandmother or raiding my parents fridge. There was a lot of laughter.

He will always have a special place in my heart and I will miss him.

Gordon was a family friend since 1994. He was respected and admired by all who had the pleasure of meeting him. His kindness and compassion will truly be missed. We lost our teacher, a fine educator, one who led by example, we lost our friend. Rest in peace, we will not forget you....

I met Gordon down in Florida and immediately saw so many special qualities that he possessed. He was a great guy and very down to earth and real. May He Rest in Peace. He is back home in Heaven with God.

Gordon was the type of guy you would be honored to have as a friend. It was always a treat to visit him in Florida or to host him during his Summer vacation travels. He always seemed to know exactly what was needed in tough times. One can only imagine what an excellent school teacher he was. He will be missed....
