I knew and worked with Sarge for a short time while I started my teaching career at Bradley Tech. He was a man of great respect, knowledge, and caring. The impact he had on his students will continue to ripple outwards and be a positive influence. I am proud and honored to have worked with and learned from him.

Sarge was one of the kindest people I met when I was a brand new teacher at Bradley Tech. He always had a kind word or something to say to make me laugh - we shared stories of time in the military - me as the child of a service member and his personal experiences. Sarge will live on in the good memories of so many, I am happier for having the honor of knowing and working with him.
