I am deeply saddened about the loss of your Father. Know that he is now at peace and with God. Never lose sight of the wonderful memories you both shared. Stay strong and know that someday you will meet again.

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.
