I had a crush on Mr. Gosselin when he was the P.E. teacher at Vineland Elementary....I was all of ten. Son Bobby, my husband Jim, and Jim's brother Mike were friends during the Miami Dade Jr. College days.



Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. You are in our prayers.

Dear Faye,



I was deeply saddened to hear of Bob's passing. I often speak fondly of the good times we had working together at Colonial Drive Elem. I know that if there is a golf course in heaven, Bob is "teeing off" with a great big smile.



Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and the family during this time.



With deepest sympathy,

Paulette Martin

I was a teacher at Opalocka Elem. when Bob Gosselin was the assistant principal. He made it fun to come to work each day. He was a true professional and a great administrator.
