Charles Logan Fry - Мемориальный вебсайт онлайн

Early 1990s, Gilbert Elementary, I was no more than 7 years old - now 30.  God be with him and your family.  

I only had Mr Fry for a couple of months. I remember he would play basketball with us during PE. He knocked me over so many times while I was setting screens while telling me to hold my ground. He was great. Playing basketball was fun with him. He seemed so healthy then. It was like nothing was wrong. It has been a long time. Now I feel more towards him because I realize that my first year with him was his last year with us. He lived as he was happy I guess. Thats what should set me at peace. He would be proud of his life.

Mr. Fry was my 6th grade teacher at Gilbert Elementary during the '97-'98 school year - his last year there.  He was also my PE teacher at Buena Park Jr. High the following two years.  Over the last few months I had been trying to get back in touch with him, and I was heartbroken to find out that he had passed away. 
Mr. Fry was hands down the best teacher I had in elementary and jr. high.  I look back to all the great memories I had, and they all go back to his classes.  In 6th grade, he would put the names of the students with detention on the chalk board.  One day, I walk in to see my name up on the board.  I was so panicked! I had never gotten detention before! I couldn't muster the courage to ask why, and Mr. Fry never brought it up, so I sat in class all day, trying to figure out what homework assignment I had forgotten to turn in!  At the end of the class, Mr. Fry finally says: oh, Lisa, by the way... April Fools!  That was probably the most amazing April fools prank I've ever received; it was hilarious!  I'll never forget his "Smarties for Smarties," and the mock Egyptian funeral.  Mr. Fry had a way with students that made him fun while challenging us to our full potential.  I felt he saw things in me I didn't see, and he always challenged me to do better.  In another occasion, I was giving a speech to a large portion of the student body.  I was beyond nervous when I started, and I couldn't help but to glance at him in the audience.  He gave me a look that I'll never forget: total encouragement and support, and he gently lipped "slow down."  From that moment on, I felt so comfortable.  I received 3rd place for my speech, and I credit him entirely for helping me through it.  And when things didn't go right, he knew what to say while keeping everything realistic.  Despite how awesome and fun he was, he still had an unwavering sense of authority.  I remember at Buena Park Jr. High, a crazy fight broke out between two students.  One teacher tried to come in and he just got pushed to the ground.  Another teacher tried to break it up, and he took a hit to the face, cutting him.  Mr. Fry was half way across the field, and had started walking briskly towards the fighters.  All it took was someone to yell "Mr. Fry is coming" for the two guys to immediately stop, turn, and run away!  That's right! No one messes with Mr. Fry!! 
I could go on and on, but in the end it comes down to one thing: there was no one like him.  To this day, I continue to use the life lessons I learned from him.  I only wish I had known and had the opportunity to talk to him again, and tell him how grateful I am to had been his student.  I will truly miss you! 

When I was a rookie training to be a Fireman on Mammoth Lakes Fire Department Charlie helped with our training. Charlie was always there to show and teach us what we need to know to successfully complete our training.  Charlie, because he was so helpful, was a Mammoth Fireman I really looked up to. When we passed our training C Fry continued to help us be the best firefighters we could be serving the community of Mammoth Lakes.  I know the solid foundation and helpful attitude I learned from Charlie had a lot to do with me becoming a Captain on Mammoth Fire Department.

I will miss you and always remember Thanks C Fry

To Mr. Fry,

Eventhough you weren't my actual teacher in 7th or 8th grade for PE, you were a great subsitute PE teacher and a mentor to everyone. We all miss you and want to thank you for the memories.

Sincerely,

rip coach you were perverted but you were still cool 

Your dedication to the people you loved, has changed their lives, even after yours ended.  Your refusal to be nothing other than who you were, has cemented your face in the hearts of every person who loved you.  But perhaps your greatest legacy is the fact that those whom you loved, know they are loved still.  801 and counting.

MR. fry u were the coolest teacher in junior high
farewell my main man
hope the lord will take care of u in heaven
