Gary was my mentor and friend. His love of science instilled the same in me. I followed in his footsteps teaching elementary science for many years. Occasionally, I run into Gary locally and we would stop and chat. I will miss those chats.

Mr. Gary Fresch was our beloved science teacher at good Ole Penn Joint...he always made science fun and was a class that was thoroughly enjoyed. May he rest in heavenly peace.
