Obituary

Retired GHS teacher Patty Bender recalls that Bob was a strong advocate for special education students.  Bob began in the classroom and later became the counselor for all of the special education programs.  Our brother Brad Baer, also a special education teacher, admired Bob’s sincerity and dedication. 

Bobbye died quite suddenly in July 2020.  Her daughter  wanted us to share with you "how much she loved her job at GHS and the people she worked with."

Math Teacher CSF/ Advisor; Class of 1969 Counselor; Vice Principal 1973-74.

We have wonderful memories of Curt, a positive and caring man.  He was Connie's Algebra II teacher; Connie also babysat for his children.  He was advisor to Lynn's Class of 1969. 

In recent years, he had reconnected with GHS through attending the Class of 1965’s 50th Reunion, the dedication of the Walter Barnett plaque in the New Gym, and recently the dedication of the bench honoring him.  We will miss him.

Obituary

Six years ago, Debbie, who came to Grossmont after many years at Mt. Miguel HS, died quite suddenly in January from acute monocytic leukemia, AML monogenic subtype.  

Her fellow English teacher Laurie Jensen remembers, “Debbie loved her students and she had a really good sense of humor. She was always giving little one-liner type jokes to the class, so I’m told. She usually ate her lunch in her classroom so that it was available for students to come in and hang out and be able to talk to her if they needed to. She really liked coming to Grossmont because at Mount Miguel they didn’t teach a full novel, so she really appreciated that we taught novels.”

Debbie’s memorial service is on March 19th, 2022 at 10:00 am at Shadow Mountain Community Church, 2100 Greenfield Drive, El Cajon, CA  92019, Main Auditorium.
