THIS IS FROM THE OFFICIAL WEST HIGH ALUMNI WEBSITE: MR. GEORGE KOPECKY HAS DIED Richard Irvine Im sorry to see that Mr. Kopecky has passed away. I was a sophmore in his english class when somebody came around and gave us the news that JFK had been shot in Dallas. 01/25/12 07:56 AM #2 Pam Browning Kuntz Was always late for his class and tried to always sneak in. I never got by...he always caught me. Ill never forget that day when he said dont knock it till youve tried it (there is a story behind that). I still talk about Mr. Kopecky. 06/13/12 06:15 PM #3 Linda Joy Fisher Guyan I got to take roll and grade papers for Mr. Kopecky . I took him for english and I was so used to signing his name for fellow students that when I got my drivers license I actually signed his name on mine. I was so looking forward to seeing him at the reunion so it goes to say I am so sorry he is dead. He even let me grade some of his german class papers. I never feft any thing but smart and happy when around him. God speed. 06/20/12 02:47 PM #4 Douglas Friedman My Adventures of Kommandant Kopecky comics in the early 70s were a tribute to him and the sense of humor he did have, so much so that I wrote one in German for an assignment (marked up for my substantial grammatical errors), which he autographed and I treasure. Miss him more than anyone else from the great facutly of those years! 07/03/12 12:54 PM #5 Janet Pollard Bohl Some of my best memories are from Herr Kopeckys German classes! I did roll, checked papers & homework off for him. Seemed like most of the football team & some of the track team was in our classes with him ie: Paul Smith, Craig Hanson, Doug Height, Mark Morrow. Gosh if I knew then what I know now ~ :-)) I could of had a ton more fun in his classes! Mr. Kopecky was a bright, intelligent man with a wry sense of humor that always kept me attentive. Definitely one of my favorite classes as well as one of my very favorite teachers! Blessings to him in his new journey~
