Mr. Redmong was one of my favourite teachers at Richmond High. He would allow me to use the teachers library, full of pocketbooks! Very calm and classy gentlemen. My prayers are with me. Brenda Turner

I had Mr. Redmond as a teacher in both Hugh Boyd & Richmond High. He was a teacher who you could really talk to and who was interested in you as a person. In Richmond High he taugh me General Business and he would send us out into the world at 17 & 18 to get an appartment or buy a car and doing so with the information he armed us with. Those learnings have helped me all my adult life. I often thought of Mr. Redmond and am very sorry to hear of his passing.

To Michael and Mrs. Redmond
My family and I are sorry to learn of Mr. Redmond's death. My late father and my mother always enjoyed chatting with him in the building and especially enjoyed the military connection. I also would see him on occasion when I visited my mother and always enjoyed our brief elevator chats. Again our condolences, and our prayers are with you.
