About | Science Teacher from: Sacto Bee LA MARR, Harold Eugene Born March 30, 1935 died May 13, 2011. Born in Fresno. Had many adventures after his dad died when Hal was 4 yrs old. Attended Winter's H.S where he was a jock and known as 'Lefty', and also played in the band. Went to UCD and Sac State. He was a wonderful high school teacher at Casa Roble who was loved by his students. Who do you know that can make chemistry fun? He did. Later, after getting his Master's degree in counseling, he worked at Rio Americano H.S.. Never to be forgotten was his lip-synching to 'YMCA' as one of the Village People at Rio's graduation ceremony. He then returned to Casa Roble and chemistry because it allowed him more time to interact with the students. He enjoyed fishing with his sons Tim(Sarah) and Chris(Kyrstin), and sadly, missed seeing his new grandson, Calvin. Survived by his loving wife of 30 yrs and forever soul mate, Tara, who will miss him more than words can say. They spent the last 26 yrs enjoying their 'Sanctuary' in the pines loving each other. Hal was a Mentor Teacher, a Teacher of the Year at Casa, and a Senior of the Year in El Dorado County for his training and work with the Ombudsman program. He loved the Giants and the 49ers, flying his airplane, going to Tahoe to try his luck, and travelling to Europe with Tara. He touched many and was well liked. Remembered for his compassion, his strength, and his sense of humor. His friends eagerly looked forward to seeing which shirt he was wearing each day as they all had fun sayings on the front. Hal made people laugh and feel good. At his request, no services will be held. If you so desire, his favorite charity was St. Jude Children's Research Hospital . His wish was for all to live by his favorite motto - 'Life Is Uncertain, Eat Dessert First'. Cremated, Ashes to family |
