Mr. Wittry, an inspiration
I think a bit of all of us wants to deny Mr. Wittry is gone. I know I did not know how to react when I heard the news.
It’s difficult to describe the impact he’s had on my life. As a teacher, mentor, and friend, he guided me some of the best times and the hardest times I had at Troy.
From his teaching, you could tell Mr. Wittry was a passionate man. After getting to know Mr. Wittry more thoroughly outside of the classroom, you learned so much more.
You learned to appreciate his straight-forward speech. You learned appreciate his dry humor. You learned about his love of science, music, movies, fitness. You heard stories about his children.
He truly encapsulated a balanced and whole person; truly he was an inspiration to us all.
I want to wish past, present students, and most importantly his family my very best. May Mr. Wittry live on through each of us in our memories and actions.
Sincerely,
Frank
