Ah! I see that someone else remembers the dreaded "electric paddle"! Mr. Inglish was my principal at Del City Elementary from 1959 to 1966, and it seemed like a lifetime back then. I was in his office for serious offenses three times during the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades; all surely worthy of punishment by paddling. Every blessed time, Mr. Inglish excused me simply for telling him the truth about my involvement in those incidents. I always thought him a good and fair man, and a role model of honesty for a young boy to aspire to. I'll say that Mr. Inglish did a man's job with me and made me a better man for it. My years at Del City Elementary were the best of my entire education and I wish to have told him exactly that; but will instead express my condolences to his family for their loss,and my gratitude to them for his selfless service in the Mid-Del school system.

Mr. English took Rick, Howard, Teddy and myself to Kansas City to see KC and the Yankees play during 4th of July weekend in 1961. Mickey hit 2 or 3 home runs during the series. Howard got Mickey's autograph. We had a pillow fight in a hotel room, feathers were every where. Mr. English showed a lot of patience toward young teenage boys. There were no cross words. What a memorial trip and fond memory. Thoughts go out to Howard and family.

Mr. Inglish, was a kind man a great person. He was my first principal. I was somewhat scared of him because I would always hear about an "electric paddle" in his office...:> RIP Mr. Inglish..journey well.

Like thousands of other elementary students, I have such clear memories of Mr. Inglish, I attended Del City Elementary in 1948 to 1950 for the 3rd and 4th grades, then was reassigned to Epperly Heights when that school was opened. Today when I walk in to the Homeland store in Del City, I always look at the picture of Mr. Inglish and the teachers at Del City Elementary that had such a positive influence on my life.

God Bless to all his family.

Debbie and Family,
Your father was such an inspiration and a wonderful roll figure when we were children at Del City Elementary. He will forever be in the memories of the "Oliva" family. May his legacy live on and on. Our prayers are with each of you.

Dear Rick and family,
Sorry to hear about your Dad. We enjoyed getting to visit with him at the Sienna facility. He was so sharp and enjoyed reading the paper I would take out for the guys. Love, The Weaver's
