Wow just finding out 4 years later he was my 4th grade teacher. He was one of the best teachers I had strict but fair. One of my fondest memories of him was when the Mets won the World Series in 1969.

Sending our love to the entire Pearcey family - from the Lovejoy Family Larry, Jean, Larry II and Larry III

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
