I am so sorry to learn of Bob's passing. I remember him both as my 8th grade teacher and when I worked for John at Dry Travern Service in the late 60s and early 70s. He was a good man! Semper Fidelis Colonel. With respect, Ernie D'Antonio, LtCol USMC (ret)

Mr. Pochron. Will always remember you, my algebra teacher at J-M. Strict was the word to describe you as an educator, but you were always kind. Bless you as you journey home.
