Mr. Sexauer was my principal at Griffith School in the 60s. Wonderful man. Sorry to hear of his passing.

Mr. Sexauer was my Principal at Griffith School in Ferguson Missouri. I attended 4th, 5th and 6th grades there. I remember Mr. Sexauer as a Gentle Giant, he was so tall yet was so kind and he had a way of talking to grad schoolers and you understood. What a Great and Kind Man. I consider myself lucky to have known Mr. Sexauer as he played a part in molding me during my grades school years. Rest In Peace.
