Brian Peterson wrote a sympathy message

“Mr. G was one my best teachers. He made learning fun. He pushed me to do better and saw my potential, and brought it out of me. It meant a lot to me that I did so well in Science Olympiad at state. I have many fond memories. All the way back in first grade of him walking around with a cheese box Halloween costume saying"The big Cheese" to sage life advice "life's not fair". To harvesting berries and maple syrup for school business endeavors. Thank you Mr. G! You'll be missed. -Brian Peterson”
