I was blessed to have the best sixth grade teacher one could ask for in Mr. Thalhammer. He was my favorite teacher and I always reminded him of his impact on my life. Bradford Elementary School community was fortunate to have this man enter our lives. He was always supportive of my tennis. After years of not playing, Ev heard that I had picked up the sport again. He surprised me when he came to see me play and again offer support. When I bought a new home, Ev and Edna came to our open house offering praise and support. My wife and I would run into Ev and Edna in Laughlin and would go to breakfast in Bullhead City which was always a treat. When we think of a true gentleman we are thinking of Mr. Thalhammer. Mr. Thalhammer was one of the most sincere and respectful persons I have ever known. I will miss him greatly. My condolences to Mrs. Thalhammer, Lori, Curt and families. Isaac C. Duran
