Condolences

Condolence From: Alice Florin
Condolence: Dear Peggy (Birdwoman),
Please know that Bear made such an impact on my two sons Noah and Alexander Florin. They both loved spending time with Bear and grew up alot during their treks with him. We think of Bear often and the wonderful times that my children had with him. Bear was one of their all time favorite teachers. I can still picture him driving off in the COEP van. I am so sorry for your loss.
Alice and Todd Florin

Condolence From: John Davies
Condolence: Dear Peggy and family,
I was deeply saddened to hear of Charly’s passing. His warmth, humor and passion made him beloved to his colleagues. In his creation of the COEP program he created a legacy which has touched the lives of hundreds and hundreds of young people over the years and will continue to do so in years to come. As a parent I will always be grateful for the many stories and experiences he created for Christian and Harrison who loved COEP so much they took it for three years. Charly was a wonderful friend and colleague and a truly gifted educator. My thoughts are with all of you in this time of loss.
Peace,
John Davies
