Mr. O'Toole was an awesome teacher and football coach. He treated me better than anyone else at school and he was the only teacher who actually cared or checked on me when I was having family problems my junior and senior year. When my pop had a heart attack or his kidney issues, he actually took the time to talk. Thank you Coah and Teacher O'Toole. Greg

Mr. O'toole was such an inspirational teacher. I had the privilege of being in 7th and 10th grade Biology classes under his extremely interesting helm. I now use a lot of what he taught me teaching my classes.
I want the family to know how he influenced every student that passed through his class. Larry J. Jr., he would always talk about you. He loved his family so.

I am so sorry for your loss and hope that you recieve comfort through the scriptures. One that brings comfort to me is found at John 5:28,29, regarding the resurection hope. You can have such hope as well. Please take comfort in those verses and may Jehovah give you the courage to deal with this loss.

What an inspiration he was. Probably part of the reason I became a sign. He gave me a love of science.

Mr. O'Toole was easily one of the best teachers at Bohemia Manor. We talked baseball - the Orioles. I was a day dreamer. He let me dream. At times he would grade my art work instead of my biology work. He is the first one to come to mind when I think about the teachers I had at Bo Manor. Rest in peace, Mr. O'Toole.

Mr. O'Toole had such a wonderful impact in my life...He was not only a great teacher but one of the most greatest baseball coaches I have ever known. He was always there not only has a coach but as a friend. He also steered us in the right direction. and no matter what always stood up for kids!!! Thank you Mr. O'Toole for all the wonderful memories. My thoughts and prayers are with your family

My heart goes out to the family at this time of sadness. Know in your hearts that Mr O. left many of us with such fond and fun memories. If he was as awesome at home, as he was in the classroom, then you all were truly blessed. Rest In Peace, Mr. O...you will be truly missed.

He was my mentor and good friend at Bo Manor. He was always helpful, positive, quick with a smile, anxious to make things better for the kids. And quite a challenge at left arm wrestling! A man the whole family can be very proud of! I know I was lucky to have known him as friend. Peace.

Diane, Larry and Family: Our loved ones never pass alone, for God's love upholds them; and, with the tenderest of care, Heaven's grace enfolds them. Although your father is deeply missed, be comforted by the thought that he dwells in peace eternally. It is my prayer that you feel his loving spirit near you now, in the blessing of caring thoughts and in the comfort of cherished memories - May the Peace of God comfort you both and your family - Yours-in-Christ, Sharon

I am so sorry to hear of his passing. He was a great teacher. I still talk about his "one question tests" to this day. He was easily distracted though, could talk about his family forever and I honestly don't think he could have been more proud of all of you. He also had a temper. I do remember a few things flying about the room when we were being .....well for lack of a better word, teenagers. I was so sorry that he retired before my kids reached Bo Manor. Prayers to all of his family, I'm sure he will be sorely missed.

I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. O'toole. He was my Biology teacher at Bo Manor. He made a subject I hated a lot more pleasant. I remember that if we didn't really want to do any work that day we would always ask him about his children. He was so very proud of them. He could go on all period telling us the great things his children were doing. It was very clear to us how much he loved his family. May the good memories of him help you through this difficult time.
