It is amazing to hear of and see the wonderful efforts and positive impressions you made in the lives of both students and staff everywhere you’d been; your kind is truly rare! 

The experience and knowledge gotten under your tutelage and supervision are nothing short of excellence. They say a good man leaves legacies; you were are good man! 

Today we thank God for a life well lived and appreciate you for a job well done. Rest now, dear Mr. Townsend. 

You will be sorely missed.
