KG

One of my favorite high school teachers, KG, passed away suddenly last week. When I heard the news, I was shocked. KG was always active and fit. I would have considered him still young, he was 72 when he died.

Until I saw the year he was born, I forgot that my Dad and KG were born the same year. My Dad died in 1998 when he was 56 and KG passed away last Wednesday at 72. Life isn't always fair and you never know when your time is up.

The family decided to hold private services for KG. I was saddened that I couldn't say goodbye one final time. I will always have fond memories of KG. He was a great history teacher, track coach and person. He is someone I will never forget.

Rest In Peace.
