    I remember Mr. Grabert fondly, as a principal, he was always fair, and always seemed to be smiling or laughing....I would run into him a number of times in adulthood, and he remembered me by name, which I always found to be complimentary, due to the number of kids he watched over. My sincerest condolences to his entire family on their heartbreaking loss.

    Mr. Grabert was my principal from 1985 to 1988 and was the Best. He knew every kid in the school and was always there with a smile. One of the nicest men I ever had the opportunity to meet.

    Please allow me to express my deepest condolences for your family's loss. I hope that you will find comfort in the real hope that the Bible gives of being reunited with your loved one again. In the Bible at John 5:28, 29 it reads, "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.". The Bible there promises that your loved one will come back to life again in the resurrection. (Acts 24:15) The Bible also promises that soon death will be no more. (Revelation 21:3, 4) I encourage you to visit JW.org for more information about this wonderful hope.

    I have fond memories of pastoral work with Herm at St. Msry of the Bay parish. He was a great example to the confirmation candidates and other students he taught. He was a positive presence to Sr Joeline r.s.m. and myself.With him, we could plan and do things that were different,and fun to do, with a deep religious meaning,of course.I never doubted his faith and commitment to the parish and the students he had.If good deeds are the only thing you bring to the gates of eternity-Herm will have his pockets,etc. full. I only celebrate Mass on Sun due to my condition,and Herm will be my Mass intention this Sunday. May the Lord hear our prayers of love and gratitude for our bother Herm. R.I.P.

    Mr. Grabert suspended me from school until one of my parents with show up to his office. I did not tell my parents I had been suspended. So I continued to miss school. He called my house and I answered and said I am afraid to tell my parents, He said show up Monday with your parents.. We'll figure this out. What a cool guy.
