My heart is empty knowing the man who molded me into the special education educator I am today is gone. My summer visits to him with my sissy at the mall just to sit and talk with him will remain a memory I’ll love as she is gone as well. We loved him so much and all the things he did for us kids at vcms. When this picture was taken he met my daughter and knowing he did will forever mean so much to me. Thank you for letting us love him in life. I hope he knows how much he was loved even if it was only by a few. He changed the course of our lives for the better and that for me is everything. I’m so sorry for the families loss of a funny caring loving sweet man who just enjoyed life. From the baseball talks to the never give up on your dreams. Mr.O I promise to keep shining like you knew I could! Your student Julia Sullivan.
