Brother Bechner taught me junior and senior English at Bishop Kearney in the early 80’s. He was very passionate about the subject matter, working hard to interest a bunch of largely unmotivated teenage boys. He was my favorite teacher in high school or college. Furthermore, I worked in the brothers’ residence my junior year and Brother cooked for the community for several months, and I got to know him more as a person. He was a kind, warm gentleman. My condolences to his family and his fellow brothers on his passing. Rich Knauf BKHS ‘84.
