I have very fond memories of George Tryforos. He was my 6th grade teacher at Lindberg Elementary School. He was one of the teachers who inspired me to teach. It saddens me to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family.

Mr. Tryforos was my sixth grade teacher at Whittier Elementary. He was a wonderful teacher and one of my favorites throughout my education. My heartfelt condolences to his family.
