    "New Jersey high school principal dies donating bone marrow"

    Derrick Nelson, 44, the principal of Westfield High School in Westfield, New Jersey, died April 8 after falling to into a coma during a procedure to donate bone marrow to a 14-year-old boy in France, Nelson’s father told ABC News. He did not give further details.

    My eyes are bleary from this, read it yourselves here:

    Agree with your sentiments Frank - a special man indeed
    Quote - “He was a man of immense character and kindness, and his legacy will live on in the generations of students whose lives he touched.” And, as Dr. Nelson has done, we will think less of ourselves and more of others around us. He has taught us many lessons.”

    The above quote tells me, he has left a 'lasting' impression', hopefully wider than the community he served

    Tragic beyond words
