Mr. Fremont was my teacher at Granite Hills. He referred to me as "Iowa". I remember being at Costco a couple of times and hearing "Iowa!". It made made my day and always made me feel special. He had a way of doing that. I always think about him and the impact he had on my life.  He was a special man and now an everlasting memory. Praying today for the family!

There are those that will touch your life for a short moment and stay there forever. Mr. Fremont, you were one of those people for me. You will always be part of my story.

Thank you for caring for all of us.

Mr. Fremont was my ninth grade photo teacher. He was the best teacher I’ve ever had. He made learning fun. He remembered his students after they graduated. I’ve thought about him through out my life.

He was my favorite teacher.  Class of 1971.             "RIP"

My sincerest condolences to the family of Mr. Fremont. Mr. Fremont, you gave me some good, sound advice while in your class. You made the class enjoyable and I am deeply saddened by this news. Rest in peace, dear sir. You will be missed.

Today I was reading my morning feed from Linked In. It talked about all the negativity in the world, and how “we” have a choice to spend our energy on the positives in our life. It’s with that read that I decided to send Mr. Fremont a message. And sadly, I found this site 😢.

Mr. Fremont,
I adored you. When I was placed in your Algebra class at Granite High School, I did everything I could to get changed to another teacher. You were so difficult, you called me names “Stupivich” and never gave me a break even when the material seemed beyond my intellect. 

I even begged my mom to call the school and have my classes changed just so I could take an easier path. You see...I had never “failed” at anything and I did not want to change that...with an “F” in Algebra. 

But...you told my mom that I had the ability and changing to an easier class would be a disservice to me!

You were right. That single experience is a pivotal point in my youth and I appreciate you more than you know because of your recognizing the exact thing I needed to be motivated. 

I like others saw the world through your slideshows. And I didn’t have that sort of exposure except through your pictures and stories. It’s in your class that I vowed I would see the world too...and I did, have and do every chance I get. 

Thank you for deciding to change the lives of youth. You mean so much to me. I am grateful I was able to tell you that in person, but I am writing this here as a record of your awesomeness for others to read...of the positive impact you had to so many. 

Rest well, my dear favorite teacher.

PS - I earned an “A” for those who are curious 

Monsieur Fremont, 

Merci beaucoup for the 4 years of memories....
You were the best of the best!! I loved you then, and I admire you now.  

It was great to see you over the years. And, I am grateful for that.
You still had your special smile and twinkle in your eye.

I will treasure my memories.
Au revoir for now.... See you  one day in Heaven.

Oh, Mr Fremont, you impacted my life more than you could have ever known. You created in me an insatiable appetite for Paris and Monet.  You tried to teach me to speak French-I was slightly lazy. Those were my best days at Granite Hills! 
I tell my daughter about your slide shows and how wonderful they were. I wander the streets of Paris and know its landmarks-the TGV, the Pompidou Centre, of course The Louvre, the Bateau Mouche, Versailles and its fountains. . .the list goes on and on. 
Thank you, thank you. 
I'm so glad that I got to introduce you to my family and show you that I turned out okay in spite of myself! I'm so sorry that we lost contact a few years ago even though your phone number is still etched in my memory. 
  I hope you knew how many students you impacted so positively. We are all a little bit better because of you. The true definition of "a teacher". 
Rest well, my friend. 
Elsa-Sending love and condolences. I will be in touch. Big hugs, lovely lady.

Adieu, Monsieur Fremont.  You were a great man who helped me during a tough family time in my teen years.  You were salty on the exterior and yet had a heart for your students.  Thank you for holding me accountable for my actions and not letting laziness and excuses destroy my opportunities.  I learned so much from you regarding art, travel and music.  In your honor, I will take “a walk around the block.”
