So many great memories of high school include Mr. Mool. I looked forward to seeing him every morning. He always had a joke to crack and his sarcasm was unmatched. Rip coach.

Mr. Mool was one of the greatest. It was a pleasure to be part of the M&M kids on the wrestling team. Rest easy Coach! Prayers to you and your family.

Mr. Mool was a great educator, coach and mentor for many Amboy High School students. The lessons he taught were the simple things in life that most of us now take for granted. It's those simple things that often fill in the gaps and gets us through the tough moments that can drag us down. Mr. Mool knew how to teach this with little quips and comments that would stay with you and come to mind when you needed it. That was his superpower and he will certainly be missed

Mr. Mool will be missed. I was a lucky person to get to know him as my coach and a fellow coach for lots of years. When I was athletic director, I knew I could count on Coach Mool´s friendly conversation. My deepest sympathy to your family. We were all lucky to have Coach Mool in our lives.

Gordy was a great friend and dedicated fireman. I always jokingly blamed him for the way my wife drives, always got that smile. RIP Gordy, I'm sure heaven is your new home.

Gordy, we will all miss you. I will never forget how hard we tried to teach you how to drive, but you always kept falling asleep. AHS will never be the same without you!
