Last Friday, a recently retired Science teacher at Henryville High School passed away. Mr. Leister's death was shocking to both the faculty and staff as he retired from teaching just this past May.
However, in his passing there have been numerous people that have reached out online to express their condolences. The most impressive thing about this, to me, is that it isn't just recent graduates that have commented or expressed themselves. Mr. Leister started teaching my senior year of high school in 1988 and to see the hundreds of people's lives he touched over the last 30 years is impressive.
When we retire, or pass away, we can only hope that many people will say good things about us. More than likely good things will be said, but will they mean them? The compliments and effects of Mr. Leister's teaching career have been heard loud and clear. And those "good things" are meant by each and everyone who expresses themselves.
Keep the family and friends of Mr. Leister in your prayers as losing a loved one is never easy, but he can rest easier knowing that his life and it's ripples will continue on for generations here at HHS, but also in the world.
