Thank you for posting the remembrance for Mr. Lotz. I also had Mr. Lotz for my fifth grade teacher in 1964 at Encinal School and remember him making us laugh and always being interested in his students. My condolences to his family.

I am so glad I saw this post. I am sorry for your loss. Mr. Lotz was my 5th grade teacher at Encinal School and he was always so nice and helpful and I have always remembered him with fondness. Know that this now 57 year old grandmother enjoyed having him as my teacher, all those years ago. With Sympathy, Joni C. Henderson
