Condolences to the family of Mr. Folkers. He was the Assistant Principal and counselor when I attended Sullivan High School (1961-1965). I also attended Rogers Park Presbryterian Church at that time. May he rest in peace.

I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Folkers was my teacher at Cleveland school in the 1950s. He was a memorable teacher.
