Condolences for
Robert F. Corrigan

Hey there, You've performed a great job. I'll certainly digg it and for my part suggest to my friends. I am sure they will be benefited from this web site.

It is with a sad heart that I write. Having Graduated from UD in 1966 I was one of the many that was in Junior High when Bob and HIS piers started their tenure at UDHS, The split classes between Loch Alsh Ave. and Jarrettown Elm. What fun. Bob and his piers had such a positive infulence on myself. The ski trips to the Pocono's with Bob driving the bus... His pleasent nature in the classroom, His Irish Pride. Bob and I remained in contact long after my graduation, and tenure with Upper Dublin Twp. P.D. Bob was a wonderful understanding and compassionate man. I will miss his gentle guidance and his steady will. May the promise of everlasting peace that comes with the birth of of our savior be with him and his family and friends.

Bob was my mentor when I began my career at Upper Dublin High School. His warm and gracious manner made it easier for me to learn how to deal with the daily situations that a teacher faces. I enjoyed our historical and political discussions, and will miss him very much. If I became a good teacher, it was because of his guidance and patience. The twinkle in his eye, his wry humor, and his historical perspective on politics made every day a better one.

We extend our sympathy & support to the family of a man who was well loved, highly respected and clearly will be missed. May Bob's brother Dick and all the rest of his family feel the comfort of God's tender love.

As a '65 graduate of Upper Dublin, I was fortunate to have attended during Mr. Corrigan's early tenure teaching history. I remember his course to be very popular as was he with his students. Mr. Corrigan had all the qualities of a good teacher, and was able to convey to his pupils his own enthusiasm for the subject. He had a relaxed and friendly demeanour, wide interests, and a lively sense of humor which helped to keep history alive. Many students, myself included, were challenged by the rigorousness of his course, thinking erroneously that a history class would be a “breeze” compared with Algerbra, Chemistry, or some other difficult subject. It did not take long, however, before Mr. Corrigan blew this assumption to pieces. May the Lord grant mercy and comfort to his family, and may he rest in peace.
