I'm so sorry to hear of Mr. Creamer's passing. I was in his Latin class for four years at Doherty from 1985-1989. Mr. Creamer was a kind man and an unforgettable character, with an obvious passion for Latin. As a math/science type, the languages were not my favorite subjects, but as someone who found his way into teaching another less-than-favorite subject myself(statistics), I'll never forget Mr. Creamer and his passion for his interest. He was always working hard to share his interest with the students, enjoying it even when some/many/most weren't paying attention. I'm reminded of this oftern as I look out across my classrooms of students. I'm as grateful for the lessons he imparted that had nothing to do with Latin as I am for the Latin-specific ones.
A one of kind, true original, he'll be missed. The students that won't have the chance to experience him as a teacher are worse off for it.
My sincere condolences,
Mike Jiroutek
