"To the family of Bill Kellogg,
We would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to all of you for your loss. We got to know Bill through his tutelage and efforts in helping our son Justin. We all deeply appreciated Bill's help and his "sticktoitveness" in helping Justin and his wonderful way of getting the best out of him. Bill truly was a Teacher in the purest sense of the word, and loved what he did. All of us will be forever grateful to Bill for his help and his love of his profession. He was a saint on earth for the Nitz family and he will be dearly missed. May God Bless all of you and comfort you in this time of need.
Sincerely,
The Jack & Jay Nitz Families"
