I know he would appreciate this…
“Dear Mr. Kotter. Please excuse Juan for missing school yesterday. He’s dead.”

Rest in Paradise my friend. I had an opportunity to work with this beatiful spirit known to us as Bob when he was substitute teaching at Venice High. He humbled me with the love/comments he had for MY poetry. He was a kindhearted man who absolutely adored his children. He will be missed.
