Mr. Yonker was my English teacher when he was in Beijing China. He not only taught us English, but also slang words, so we learnt real language. in addition, we also played cards game called dirty club together. I enjoyed the time and respect Mt. Yonker. it's kind of regret that I have never visited him since I came to the states in1992. rest in peace. dear Dick

Mr Yonker was by far the best math teacher a high school student could ever have! He made calculus FUN, and had an amazing spirit and gift. He was also an incredible travel companion when he accompanied 18 of us to Yellowstone during May Program. What a fabulous man and what a huge loss.

Mr. Yonker was an exceptional teacher and a wonderful man. I will never forget him and will always be grateful for his encouragement of my pursuit of math; I credit him for my career in finance today. He made me feel talented and smart and always treated me with such respect. I am so lucky to have had my years with him at Breck. I am so sorry for his passing but his legacy will live on in so many of us that he inspired.

Mr. Yonker was one of my all-time favorite teachers and coaches in high school. So sad to hear of his passing.
