My sympathy to all of his family. My son was in his class in 1982 and in 1983. Many thanks to a wonderful human being and teacher.

Deepest sympathies to the family of my old teacher and friend, Hair. I remember him as a remarkable, strong and tender man, with a great sense of humor and. He had a real heart for his students. When we lost my best friend, Dick Dowell, in 83' ( also one of his students ) Hair was right there, graveside, with us and cried as if he had lost his own son. He will always be remembered, fondly.

Mr Inman or "Hair" as well all called him was an amazing teacher, mentor and person. I graduated from Benton Central in 1980 but his lessons are something that has spanned my life and things I have passed to my children as well. I thank the Lord above I was blessed to have him in my life.

Condolences to Mr. Inman's wife and family

So sorry to hear of Harolds passing. I was in the 1980 and 1981 building trades class. I was blessed to be visited by Jeff and Marge nearly every winter at our Dog n Suds christmas tree stand, in Lafayette, while on their way to the lake for Christmas. I will miss our phone visits and regret never making it up to his lake cabin. After talking with him the week before he passed we made our plans for myself and another classmate to head north as soon as he was released from his Dr. to go himself. I told him we would spend one day with him and then head home. Harold replied ,"It will take me more than a day to show you everything at the lake so you better make plans to be there longer than that." How this news changed our plans. I just wish I could of seen him one more time. As I said to him when we was ready to end our call that night, I Love you Harold and he replied the same in a crackling voice with a sigh, I never thought it would be the last time. Peace be with his family and God Bless you all. I Love You Harold Yoyolick Sr. Rest in Peace

So sorry to hear of Jeffs passing. We had a long time Building Trades period of time with him. Two of our sons learned much under his tutelage. They were the first who traveled to Michigan to visit him. Ron later took his boat up and he and Jeff spent much time fishing. Gene served several years on the board working with him. He leaves quite a mark on our community. Gene and Shirley Freeman

Mr Inman, Harold Yoyolick, will be missed. He made building trades a fun class and he was a great teacher. I trusted him so much, that I had him build my house in 1990, and I still live in it. I remember some of the joking around that he did in building trades class. He was a great person to get to know. He will be missed by many.

Hi Kip, Steve and Danny. My dad called to tell me that your dad passed away. Thank you so much Kip for taking time to call my dad. I can tell he is still in shock. Even though they didn't talk alot lately, he truly loved your dad as a brother. I always loved your dad, he was always so emotional when it came to dad, but it was so honest. My heart goes to all of you. Deepest sympathy.
