Leslie McGraw wrote a sympathy message

“I would be many years into my adult life before I fully realized what an incredible impact Mr. Askew had on me as a sixth grade student at Pittsfield Elementary. I just thought he was a great person and teacher, super smart, and funny. But, when I think about the stabilizing presence I felt in his classroom, the groundbreaking teaching styles he shared with Mrs. Vayda, and how fatherly he was to all of us - he was the perfect prescription for all that ailed me during those days. - God Bless, Les”
