  1. Just saw the notice of John’s passing. He was my favorite teacher at John Marshall High School. He made learning fun and had the admiration and respect of so many students. I will never forget him calling me out when I tried to feed him a line, he would say, “Oh my aching clavicle” which was his way of telling me he knew it was nonsense. He was a good man and taught me a lot, sorry to hear of his passing. My heart is heavy today.

  2. Mr.P you were the best teacher that I ever had. Both in electronics and life in
    general, sir you were a role model and a leader. You taught all your students respect. For what it’s worth Mr.P, I am sorry for the detonator incident, I still
    remember how angry & disappointed you were at me. Truly I felt as bad as if I had
    let one of my own parents down. Our schools would be much better today, if there
    were more teachers like you around. You were the classic definition of “old school” and kids today sorrowfully need that. Everyones life you touched will miss you, God bless and goodbye Mr.P…”Flashcube” and I’m 10-7…

  3. “Mr. P” was a great teacher at John Marshall High School. I had him every year from 9th grade (Electronics/Printing/Photography), Electronics I in 10th grade, Electronics II in 11th grade, and independent study (Electronics) in 12th (1969). One of my biggest regrets in life was not keeping in touch with him. He had a big influence in my early life. I remember him saying “When in doubt, punt”. RIP, Mr. P, you were “The Best”. My condolences to his family.

  4. I was a student of Mr. P photography classes in John Marshall High School. He was one of the Great Teachers I had back then. I had him in 9th and 10th grade. That was 43 years ago where has the time gone. RIP Mr.P
