Frank Oross for several decades has been a leader and mentor to so many young men, including myself and my two sons. We demand that he be retained and made whole; this action against Frank is true indication that you are out of step with the Riordan community as a whole and most certainly out of step with the young men currently walking our halls. Frank is Riordan, and we will not go away very easily. What is the reason for the separation and who made this decision? Riordan is and has been a student driven school, the voice of the student body, both past and present must be heard. Do the right thing and rescind the letter immediately.

Made an impact on me the 1st day of school! These young men need a teacher of reality and respect.

Frank Oross was my registry teacher Freshman year. He instilled discipline and commanded respect. He was serious when he needed to be and used humor as a teaching device. We could use more teachers like him.

For 50 years, Frank Oross has dedicated himself to Riordan High School. He has coached, taught, mentored and influenced more young men then anyone could possibly achieve in a lifetime - especially those who have decided his time at Riordan should come to an end. His methods may not be perfect, but nobody could ever challenge or question his loyalty to the school, the kids and the traditions held by the City's last all boys high school. I will forever be thankful to Frank Oross - my teacher, coach and friend - for all he's done for me over the years. Losing Frank is a loss beyond words and a disappointment to anyone who calls Riordan home.

Coach O is the glue of Riordan! He gets the boys to interact and connect with one another inside the gym and on the field.

Coach O is the link between the alumni and the boys - he embodies the heart of the school. #R is Coach O! The field should be named for him.

Who are you to tell this man how to do his job. He's been there since you guys were in diapers and you're going to force him to leave. What a joke. This man is what it means to be a crusader, a man who fights for what he believes in

Coach O is a good man who always wanted the best for his boys. What a tremendous injustice...
