High school teacher inspires students to give back
Everyone at St. Joseph High School knows this man. He helps us nurture our spiritual life when we as students begin high school. He is often the last to impart wisdom as we leave and enter the real world. He has dedicated three decades to teaching at St. Joseph. He cares for his wife, who suffers from an advanced stage of the normally terminal illness amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also knows as Lou Gehrig's disease or ALS) and requires 24/7 medical attention and accommodations daily. He also serves as the school groundskeeper and head baseball coach, works at the school into the late hours of the night and functions on roughly three hours of sleep.
