    One of the few teachers who could keep my interest. He kept the classes attention by wiggling his ears. Could not take my eyes of him as you would never know when he would wiggle them. Remembered enough of his chemistry lessons to be able to help my son thru his homework 25 years later. He based his relationships with his students on what he knew of them personally, and not on what he had heard. He treated us with respect and caring. A' true gentleman and a scholar'. My condolences to the family.
