Richard S. TORRELL

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I taught with Dick at Cleveland Hill High School in the late 1950’s. While I had not seen him I left there in I959, Dick’s genuine goodness as a person, his dedication as a teacher, and the good times we shared remained memorable.
Ironically, in December I located and telephoned him to see if he wanted to have lunch with Tom Flaminio and Bob Smith who also taught with us and whom I also had not seen in over a half-century. Dick and I had a nice chat but he was unable to make he date we had selected but wanted to know of any subsequent get-togethers. Sadly that now will have to wait until another dimension.
I extend my sincere condolences to Dick’s family. Please know the persisting influence he had on those of us fortunate to have been his colleague.

Our deepest sympathy to the family on the loss of Richard Torrell. We taught with Richard at Cleveland Hill High School. In his unique, quiet way, he was an intelligent, talented man. 'So very sorry for your loss! Gene & Irene Bracci, Lakewood Ranch , Fl.
