The first time I met my dad was at Sizzlers. He had a white coat on with blood all over it from cutting meat. I was scared and hid behind my mom. Looking back I know that was the happiest day in my young life as it brought me a daddy who always loved me and had chosen me to be his only child. I only wish my children would have a lifetime of memories with you like I was able to have.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Fradel family. Words cannot express my deep sadness with the passing of my dear friend, colleague, and longtime mentor. Our bond was akin to that between siblings. Jeff was a "legend" in his own right as evidenced by his contributions to HCPS, his commitment to students, and his mentorship to adults. I miss you and will treasure the memories from our time working together and laughing together for 20+ years. Rest in peace dear friend.

So many good times. He was a great friend growing up, and after. We played football up at St. Joan of Arc, and many games with siblings growing up. He was a great guy, and I know he will be greatly missed by all his loved ones. You all are in our thoughts and prayers!!
