Walter A. Kistenfeger Jr.

My folks Francis & Margaret Bybee moved us from Amboy just before my senior year. A small high school of about a hundred in my class. Wally was in my physics class taught by Mr Krabel. And in my trig class. A very hard worker & studious. And generous to newcomers. I am sorry for the late reply. My 1st wife passed away in 2012. And noticed that wally Sr just passed away. God's Peace.

Mr k was such a great principal! he was more than just our principal. he was our friend. i remember seeing him just like yesterday. i also remember that last year when i was in 6th grade i was a dollar short for buying books at the book fair and he lent me a dollar. we were all very lucky to have known him for the time we did. god bless his family.

Mr. K was the kind of principal who took the time to get to know every student by name. He also understood the problems divorced fathers faced with their children. I'm very grateful that he was able to guide my three children through their middle school years.

Our family extends our sincerest sympathy for the untimely loss of Mr. K. He was a great principal who looked after all of his children and made a very sincere effort to teach as well as lead. We were lucky enough to have two children under his guidance. Thank you Mr K. Judy and Michael Mason

Mr. K was the best principal ever! I will never forget him, and he will always always have a place in my heart. CHMS loves you Mr. K!!!

It has been a privilege to have been part of Mr. K's life.

He was a friend, a mentor and a leader. We respect the values he gave us and the paths he created.

He will be missed. Our prayers are with the family.

My families deepest condolences to you and your family, Mr. K was an extraordinary man and role model to the kids at CHMS & HMS, my two children were the benifactors of Mr. K's leadership and my wife and I greatly appreciate his tireless work in attending all the events of the school. Being a teacher myself I admired his professionalism and compassion, he will be deeply missed.



Sincerely



Keith, Maribeth, Lauren and Drew Bailey

My thought and prayers go out to all in the Kistenfeger family. I can feel your pain..
