I was sorry to hear of his passing. He was my 9th grade History Teacher. My favorite quote of him was "Moving On Rapidly" He used it many times in class. I graduated in 1989. He will be missed.

My prayers are with your family at this time.
Mr. Streeper was my high school history teacher and I really liked him. He was always fair and very entertaining. He really had alot of patience with us and if every class was like mine that is saying something. Our class could have tried anyone's patience.
Thank you for sharing Mr.Streeper with me. He made one hour of my day very entertaining and bearable.
