Another one gone

[Eireann]

My favorite teacher from high school has died.

I hadn't thought of this happening. I'm in touch (via Facebook) with a few other teachers, and this man - oh, he was such a good teacher! He was a fine human being, with a sharp sense of humor and a knack for getting the most out of us. A friend of mine was very enthusiastic when he showed them Monty Python as part of a lesson.

Oh, no. Not another one. And here I had hoped that 2012 would be The Year Nobody Died.

Oh, that's sad. A really good teacher is someone you remember all your life.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry to hear it. Glad you had a chance to be in his class.

He was a wonderful teacher. His Facebook page is filling with tributes to him from family, friends, and the people he taught over the years. Everyone loved him.
