Dear David, Thank you kindly for sharing with us your memories and stories! It makes us very happy that he had this kind of positive and lasting influence on you. He loved teaching and coaching and as you know he cared deeply about his Harmony students like you. Wishing nothing but the best to you throughout life.

Dear Jean, What a treasure trove of memories you've blessed us with, thank you. Kim tells me that Harmony Union was indeed a very special place because of the team of teachers like you and Karon that Mr. Carnation brought to the school. What a significant positive impact you all had growing the youth of yesteryear into mature adults today. Teachers are a special breed and Harmony was lucky to have the likes of you and Karon.

Your description fits him perfectly. We are ever grateful for your sentiments and for your watchful care of him these last couple of years as a trusted extended member of the family!

Thank you, Nancy! He was a special guy for sure, always helpful to and uplifting of others. We appreciate you sharing your memories with us.
