TEMPERANCE — Scott W. Earl, 59, of Lambertville, a Bedford High School English teacher and coach for nearly 25 years, died unexpectedly Monday night in his home.
“Scott touched so many lives,” said Kevin Weber, BHS principal. “We are still working through our emotions and feelings.”
Sandy Kraine, the district’s communications/grant specialist, said a table was set up near the cafeteria on Tuesday. Students were able to write their memories of Earl on a banner. A gathering for current and former students and colleagues will take place at 3 p.m. Friday in the BHS auditorium, 8285 Jackman Road. Doors will open at 2:45 p.m. Alumni are asked to arrive no earlier than 2:45.
The district’s counseling staff and emotional support services teams are offering support to Earl’s students and colleagues. Visitation will take place from 1 until services at 5 p.m. Sunday at the Michael W. Pawlak Funeral Home in Temperance.
Earl graduated in 1982 from Blissfield High School, where he was a record-breaking track athlete. He attended Hope College and the University of Toledo. He came to BPS in August 1999.
