Dear Highcliff Elementary Families,It is with a heavy heart that I share that our beloved
crossing guard Mr. Frank Kodrich passed away on Thursday evening. For anyone
who has ever walked their child across Timberlane Drive during arrival or
dismissal, you had the pleasure to interact with Mr. Kodrich. He always had a
smile on his face and kind words for our students and their families. Many
students referred to him fondly as Mr. Frank and looked forward to interacting
with him on a daily basis. I know that he made many of our students' days brighter
by greeting them or saying goodbye with a smile and a wave.
From our Highcliff community, we would like to offer our
deepest condolences to Mr. Kodrich's family, including his children and their
spouses: Amy Johnston (Ellsworth), Kimberly McGee Dashiell (George) and
Frank R. Kodrich III (Julie).
The arrangements are as follows: Friends will be received
today, Feb. 11, from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. at Devlin Funeral Home located
at 806 Perry Highway where a Blessing Service will be held on Tuesday,
Feb. 12, at 11 a.m. with interment to follow at the National Cemetery of the
Alleghenies. You can find out additional information by clicking here.
We will truly miss Mr. Frank and all that he gave to the
Highcliff community.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Kristy Bilderback
Principal
