Later, he attended Notre Dame University, where he received his bachelor of science degree in engineering in 1940.

The faculty and the student body of Martin High School deeply regret the loss of this beloved teacher who was so suddenly taken from us. He was loved by everyone, for he had a charming per- sonality and a splendid character. We shall always cherish his memory. -Alejandro R. Garcia.
