Mr. Yapuncich was my 4th grade teacher (1967) my PE teacher and basketball coach. I would occasionally run into him at the grocery store. Mr. Yapuncich always remembered me as well as many of his past students. I am thankful he was in my life. Knowing him helped in making me a stronger, better person.
