I was a student of Mr. Nolan's at Wilson MS in 1999 and 2000. He was such a character! We loved him so much! He was always patient with us and had so many goofy expressions. We never knew what to expect from him. A friend of mine will still send me text messages asking me if I got a job picking cotton, so I can get some cotton pickin' money. All silliness aside, I was so blessed to have this sweet man in my life and pray that his family knows how valuable he was to the people who were blessed to know him. Your loved one lives on in the hearts and memories of many young people you may never know. Thank you for sharing him all these years!

I, too, was a student of Mr. Nolan's in 1970 and he helped me to actually enjoy math! His love for teaching was obvious and his compassion for his students was rare. A wonderful man indeed. Thank you, Mr. Nolan, for the many lives you touched. Comfort and peace to his family.

I was also a student of Mr. Nolan and have wonderful classroom memories of his dedication and humor. So many have said it better than I but I will always remember him. It was a blessing to be in his class.Gaye David, Class of 1964

Decades ago I was one of Mr. Nolan's first students at Wilson Jr. High School when he came mid-term to fill a position vacated by illness. He was new to teaching but it was immediately evident that he was not new to caring for people, especially students. He continued to find new ways to explain problems/solutions when I just didn't "get it." His patience was unending and his appreciation for my sincere efforts exhibited in his grading me quite generously. For his kindness, he got me the next year for Algebra II and we went through it all over again. For these many years, I have remembered him fondly and have heard his name mentioned as throngs of students sat under his teaching. My prayers for his family. Rest in peace, Mr. Nolan. You made a difference.

Witnessing Lenard working with students was a joy. He was one of the funniest men I have ever known and the students loved him–we all did. Ann, you were both so blessed to have each other and you knew it. May all the great times and memories ease your loss.Mary Kollmorgen Teacher–Woodrow Wilson Middle School 1995-2009

Lenard your humor and grace will be greatly missed. You taught us to solve math problems when we thought they were impossible, you believed in us when we were convinced it was to hard. The greatest problem you taught us to solve is that one man can really change the world by teaching others to believe in themselves. We will miss you!
