Dear Mrs. Heyl
My name is Cindy Greiner I
Run the Facebook page SouthHigh School Alumni
Page. I posted the passing
Of Mr. Heyl. I can’t begin to tell you the overwhelming
Response to it, it was amazing how many classmates were touched be
His teaching or just a smile as he stood outside his classroom greeting students.
I personally did not have him
As one of my teachers. But after reading all the responses I wish I did.
My sincere condolences.
