I just learned about a long time acquaintance and colleague, by the name of Abel Reyna Jr., who passed away recently. He was a great mentor and all around wonderful person who I will always remember for his warm heart, great personality and comedy relief. He was a Principal of Sunset High School back when I was thinking of changing my career and looking into becoming an educator. A candlelight vigil was held for Mr. Reyna at Sunset High where previous friends, colleagues, and students were in attendance to remember his legacy.
I would like to have been at the vigil to remember Mr. Reyna, but as I am a new father I have little time to even watch the nightly news. As I am riding my bike this Saturday along with my wife and friends, through Oak Cliff, I will take time to remember Abel Reyna and all the wonderful things he was.
