Thank you for everything your were like a dad to me to . Even though my dad was absent you filled that void by keeping me safe, and yes you were in trees and rooftop to ensure we were safe and going in the right direction to go home. That was greatly appreciated.

He was the best principal for main street. I remember he would sit in trees and on the roof of the school and watch for kids trying to play hookie. He knew every child by name including parents. You will be truly missed.
