Mr. Mark Joseph Ule

Such special memeories of Carol and Mark's wedding and their years together. I love thinking about standing with Mark on the 18th Green at Pebble Beach. May all our wonderful memories keep Mark forever in our hearts. Love to Carol and her girls.

Mr. Ule was my high school chemistry teacher. I wasn't a fan of chemistry, but I always looked forward to his class. He had a way of twisting a boring lesson into something interesting and fun. His humor and wit permeated the class. He talked about making brownies out of nothing but chemicals from the lab and setting water on fire. I still tell my kids about the day he drew a diagram of the atom on the blackboard, telling

Mr. Ule was my high school chemistry teacher. I wasn't a fan of chemistry, but I always looked forward to his class. He had a way of twisting a boring lesson into something interesting and fun. His humor and wit permeated the class. He talked about making brownies out of nothing but chemicals from the lab and setting water on fire. I still tell my kids about the day he drew a diagram of the atom on the blackboard, telling us that modern science knows that this isn't accurate, but it was what the lesson in the book required. Honest, funny, knowledgeable, and engaging. I remember him well, and am grateful for the time he gave us.

Mr. Ule was by far my favorite teacher and a warm, caring, and special person. After the enjoyment I experienced in his chemistry classes I later earned a degree in chemical engineering. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Carol:

Mark was my science teacher wayyyyyyy back -- over forty years ago --- at Bishop Montgomery High School in Torrance, California. I remember him vividly as a kind and loving man who taught KIDS more than he taught Biology or Chemistry. I am positive that he was one of the role models of my youth who motivated me to enter public education and I am in my thirty-fifth year!

His death was mentioned in the Bishop Montgomery alumni magazine

His death was mentioned in the Bishop Montgomery alumni magazine and a quick Google search got me to this memorial site.

I am truly sorry for your loss. I admired Mark deeply.

Mr. Ule was an amazing teacher, one of my all time favorites. His love of teaching and every single one of his students was apparent. We had a silly nickname for him, "Mr. Molec'ule'. He thought that name was great! I smile just thinking about all of the funny, wonderful things he used to do in class. He was an inspiration to all of his students and touched so many lives- he will be greatly missed.
God Bless,

I was so sorry to hear about your family's loss. I'm sure you will have many more posts, as former students find out about Mr. Ule passing on. What a great teacher he was! You never knew what he would do next. I always remember his famous handstands. He had an infectious smile and passed on his enthusiasm for chemistry to all his students. I have no doubt he is smiling down on you from heaven! "The blossom cannot tell

I was so sorry to hear about your family's loss. I'm sure you will have many more posts, as former students find out about Mr. Ule passing on. What a great teacher he was! You never knew what he would do next. I always remember his famous handstands. He had an infectious smile and passed on his enthusiasm for chemistry to all his students. I have no doubt he is smiling down on you from heaven! "The blossom cannot tell what becomes of its fragrance as it drifts away, just as no person can tell what becomes of their influence as they continue through life". May God send you comfort as you heal.

I have such fond memories of Mr. Ule and always looked forward to chemistry because of him. He will be greatly missed by all. God Bless.

Mr. Ule was truly one of my favorite teachers. His love of Chemistry and his passion for teaching were very visible in the classroom. So many great memories but I will especially never forget the colored chalk, the sponge eraser used to make the black board pristine, the classical music played during exams, and his "cat-like reflexes" that he used to catch a flask that had fallen and bounced onto the floor without breaking during a demonstration. My prayers go out to the Ule family during this difficult time. God bless you, Mr. Ule. May you rest in peace.

I'm so sorry for your loss. May your memories of Mark carry you through this difficult time.

Of course, Mr. Ule was an expert chemistry teacher, but also a fine man who ran a classroom where learning and experience were never trumped by standardized tests and other futilities. So when he saw us getting burned out around mid-terms he had us sit in a room lit only by Bunsen burners and listen to Classical music. No small feat to keep the attention of 30-odd 17 year-olds w/ nothing but Bach, but we would never think of disobeying

And we learned a ton about chemistry too! His ability as an educator and an inspirer-of-curiosity will be deeply missed. But thank God we were blessed by his great knowledge and greater humanity in the time we each had w/ him. Blessings & condolences to the Ule family, and three cheers for Mr. Ule!

Dear Ule family,

When we heard of Mark's death, our first thought was this: We are sent here for a reason. Clearly, Mark's was to excite and inspire his students to embrace the sciences. He did that beyond measure!

Thank you, "Mr. Ule" and rest in peace. Well done!

Please know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,

Tom and Janet Kauker

My thoughts and prayers are with the Ule family at this time. Mr. Ule was an amazing teacher and a mentor you looked forward to seeing every day. Not only was Mr. Ule my teacher, but I was fortunate to have Mr. Ule as a neighbor as well. Like clockwork every evening, we'd see Mr. Ule running down Marvis or Walmar, and a wave in the air was guaranteed! Mr. Ule was a wonderful teacher and I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn from him. - Michelle Brugh - Bay High class of1986

Dear Carol and family,
I just hear of Mark's passing, and am so shocked and saddened, I didn't even know of his illness. I always thought I would have the opportunity to see him again, he was such a special human being. I wish I could have been one of his students, he was obviously one of the best.

I always loved to have lunch with Mark, and really got to know him well during the my last years of teaching, one of the few who was a Mensch, and a brilliant and deep thinker, not person with whom to have small talk.
I always thought I would be able to buy the special mulch he planned on manufacturing after his retirement.
Connie, a former colleague

Mr. Ule was truly a wonderful teacher and what he taught in the classroom and outside the classroom will never be forgotten. He was so dedicated to his students and had a passion for teaching that is/was rarely match by others. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Ule family. God Bless.

Dear Carol and family,
As neighbors on Marvis Drive, we admired and were inspired by Mark's meticulous lawn and landscaping. He loved the out-of-doors and we watched him run the streets, day after day. He was not strong enough recently and we missed that. We are running in our first 5K Race for the Cure this month in his memory!! Thank you Mark, for giving so much to all those who knew you.
In Sympathy,
Paul and Carol Gress

I had the pleasure of working with Mark from 1975 until 1999 and I can certainly attest to the fact that he was a very caring person, exemplary teacher, and great friend. I have such great memories of observing his engaging teaching strategies, discussing politics, jogging throughout the streets of Bay Village, and playing softball on the same team with Mark for 24 years.

I have such great memories of observing his engaging teaching strategies, discussing politics, jogging throughout the streets of Bay Village, and playing softball on the same team with Mark for 24 years. What a loss for colleagues, friends, former students, and especially for Carol, Sue, and Laura and their families. I hope the loss is tempered in some way by the fact that Mark made a huge difference in the lives of so many people. His life on this earth impacted the lives of hundreds. He will be missed.

I never had Mr. Ule as a teacher, but knew both of his daughters. I was so saddened to hear the news of his passing. My thoughts are with his family and all of those he made an impact on throughout the years.

Mr. Ule was one of the greatest and most influential teachers I have ever had, and one of my favorite. He made chemistry entertaining right down to the Kool-Aid he used for examples - always written with the trademark sign of course. We never could get him to walk on his hands, but we were able to convince him, after the AP test, to let us watch the british periodic table movie with exploding elements, T-rex flourines, and an awesome

Mr. Ule was one of the greatest and most influential teachers I have ever had, and one of my favorite. He made chemistry entertaining right down to the Kool-Aid he used for examples - always written with the trademark sign of course. We never could get him to walk on his hands, but we were able to convince him, after the AP test, to let us watch the british periodic table movie with exploding elements, T-rex flourines, and an awesome british guy with terrible teeth who said al-u-minium. From the Kool-Aid parties, the lab cooked breakfast and the end of year Ule-Q I remember more from his chemistry classes than any other. He inspired me to pursue a career in polymer science and engineering and when I taught math during my undergraduate studies I did my best to channel Mr. Ule's amazing care for each of his students - and even used a rainbow of markers (I didn't have a chalk board). Rest in peace Mr. Ule, and God bless your wonderful family.

Mark was one of the special teachers who made my life as a counselor so much easier. His empathy, care, understanding & insights into his students helped make their time at Bay High so much more meaningful. My memories, condolences and prayers will always be with him and his family.

I had Mr. Ule for Honors Chemistry and like many others I decided to take AP Chemistry mostly because he taught it and made it fun. I remember sitting in a college lecture hall for Chemistry and thinking back on how Mr. Ule made the material fun and easy. He was a wonderful teacher and I will never forget some of the things he taught me.

Mr. Ule was such an incredible teacher-I am so saddened by his passing. He always encouraged us to keep asking questions and to never give up. He always challenged us. We will miss you Mr. Ule

He was an amazing teacher. I never expected chemistry would be so fun. I was sad to hear of his passing and I send my prayers to his family.

I would like to send my sincerest sympathies to the Ule family.
Mr. Ule was a huge help to me and his class was one I looked forward to. He made a subject that was confusing for me easy in the end. I actually grew to like the subject, study more and use in career skills. Thank you Mr. Ule! Thank you for straightening it all out!

Mark Ule was my uncle; my father's sister Carol married him some years before I ever arrived on this earth. I remember going to 'Uncle Mark and Aunt Carol's for family get togethers. They had a great big back yard and I always had to wander through Uncle Mark's garden - we always had and wanted to be careful to extract frisbees out of it.

Mark Ule was my uncle; my father's sister Carol married him some years before I ever arrived on this earth. I remember going to 'Uncle Mark and Aunt Carol's for family get togethers. They had a great big back yard and I always had to wander through Uncle Mark's garden - we always had and wanted to be careful to extract frisbees out of it. As most people know, my Uncle Mark was a pleasant man. He had a natural curiosity about things which brings to my favorite memory. We were sitting in their family room and he was showing me some of his music (which he had a lot of). I was young, but he let me ravage through his collection and manipulate many of his electronic gadgets I was so jealous not to have at the time. As we sat and I switched from gadget to music to his accordion, a bird had positioned itself right outside the window. It is crazy to say I remember the color, but it was Yellow with bits of red and black. I know this, because my Uncle Mark stood up and walked over to the window saying 'Would you look at that?'... he was just as excited as I was in looking at his things. I walked up to the window with him and as I found myself in a stare with the bird before it flew away; I had not seen he already had a book in his hand to look up the exact species... after a minute or two, he thought he had narrowed it down to one in which the name has escaped me. What remains in my mind is my Uncle Mark teaching me that it is quite easy to learn outside of school. I have played this memory in my head whenever I can't figure something out or find trouble building a conviction. It is difficult to explain how it helps because I have never openly talked about it, but I think it's important. It's stories like this that help us close loops.

I can certainly vouch for the fact Mr. Ule was one of the most loved and respected teachers at Bay High School during my four years there as an honor student. Unfortunately for me, I did not have Mr. Ule for Chemistry, but my interactions with him were always pleasant. He was always willing to help when needed. Mr. Ule will be missed by the thousands of lives he touched in his long and successful teaching career.

It is tragic

It is tragic that his life was cut short so early by cancer...but maybe his death will spur one of his students or one of their children to pursue medicine or cancer research.

In any event, God is likely smiling now that he has welcomed back one of His own into His presence...let that be consolation to all who befriended and loved Mark Ule.

I remember feeling really jazzed about knowing I had Mr. Ule coming up next period. I remember dry ice and thinking science is cool. I'm sure Mr. Ule had a large part in making me the geek I am today..

Mr. Ule made honors chemistry one of the best classes i had in high school. I am sure all of us who knew him will miss him very much.

When I think back over the teachers with whom I've worked, Mark Ule was distinct. Not only was Mark a model professional educator, but he was a model human being. He was generous of mind and spirit. He was kind in manner and influence. He was fun, sincere, genuine, authentic. What an impact Mark had on the young lives of so many! Mark was tolerant of differences while maintaining standards of excellence. The number of years he came to school

He was kind in manner and influence. He was fun, sincere, genuine, authentic. What an impact Mark had on the young lives of so many! Mark was tolerant of differences while maintaining standards of excellence. The number of years he came to school prepared... to motivate, to instruct, to cheer-up, to just be himself set the bar high for other educators. I am proud to have known Mark Ule and to have worked with him. It is also an honor to have shared part of my life in education with him. His influence will long outlive this sad day.

I had Mr. Ule sophomore year of high school in honors chemistry. Early on he became fond of calling me "Jackie-lantern" -- and I really didn't mind. I decided to take AP chemistry, not because I loved the subject, but because I wanted Mr. Ule for a teacher again! He was the most engaged, compassionate, invested teacher I have ever had. And because of him, I will never erase a chalkboard from the bottom up. You are missed Mr. Ule!

Mr. Ule was one of the best teachers I've ever had. I don't remember many specifics of chemistry class, but I do remember his smile and his passion for education and science. I am a teacher now, and he set the bar high. He genuinely cared for his students and his responsibility to us. I do remember one time we were being disrespectul, and he got mad.

My thoughts are with your family. He will be greatly missed.

Mr. Ule was an amazing teacher, and I am still using what he taught me.

I remember one day in class when it was really nice outside, people were kind of antsy, and one person had a Jenga game in his bag. While lecture was going on, someone snuck it out, set it up in the far isle, and we took turns sneaking around to play it. After a few rounds, Mr. Ule caught on. He looked down the isle

While lecture was going on, someone snuck it out, set it up in the far isle, and we took turns sneaking around to play it. After a few rounds, Mr. Ule caught on. He looked down the isle and said, "Oh - is it my turn?" and he took a turn (see picture attached). Then he said, "OK, lets get back to covering what was in the plan for today."

After the lecture, we all finished the game.

I'm very sorry to hear about Mr. Ule's passing and his battle with cancer. He was an excellent teacher and he taught me skills I still use today. He was the best.

Mr Ule was one of my favorite teachers in high school - I wasn't the best chemistry student, but he was very easy to talk to and made every effort to help me understand a challenging subject! I am so sorry for the family's loss. May he rest in peace.

Mr. Ule was one of my favorite teachers in high school. His love of chemistry and teaching was evident in all of the classes and labs that he taught.

I am saddend to hear of Mr. Ule's passing. He was a great teacher and will be sorely missed. I don't know why I loved chemistry in High School but it was probably because I had one of the best teachers and motivators. The draino and sugar experiment was cool. David Wallace Class of 1975.

I still remember the fun we had in class the day he let two of the football players use a Queen song to explain the lesson for the day...what a blast! Mr. Ule was such a happy person, you couldn't help but love class.
My heart goes out to his family in their loss.

I had Mr. Ule for Chemistry when I was in high school at Bay in the late 90s. I have some great memories of that time. This was very sad news to hear. Many condolences to his family. He will be missed.

Hands down, my favorite teacher ever. There is no way to begin to describe the sense of community Mr. Ule was able to create in his classroom. I have such fond memories of the time I spent in his classes and am so sorry to hear of his passing. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

I will have memories of Mr. Ule forever. We had a blast in his chemistry class. He always made the learning fun. He will be missed dearly. I know i can speak for alot of my class as well.

I still to this day have great memories of my time in Mr. Ule's Chemistry class! I also have the memory of Mr. Ule being an extremely caring teacher. The type of teacher that touches your life and makes you want to succeed.
I feel blessed to have had Mr. Ule as a teacher. I am deeply saddened by this news.

I loved Mr. Molec "ule" . He had a lasting impression on me from his great chem class - I still have my notebook 33 years later! I was just talking about him a couple of days ago - loved that chemistry nickname. I had him about the time sweet emotion came out from Aerosmith, we used to sing sweeeeet emulsion :)

He was a great teacher!

Mr. Ule was the most sincere, entertaining and dedicated teacher I had at BHS. May his family take comfort and pride in the countless number of young students he molded and guided. Rest in peace, Mark.

I had Mr. Ule for Honors Chemistry my Sophomore year of high school. I'll never forget taking notes from the blackboard that looked more like a work of art than Chemistry formulas (he always wrote in different colors of sidewalk chalk- the boring white just would not do). His sense of humor always helped to make a subject that many struggled with enjoyable. He was an amazing teacher who gave so much to his students and will be greatly missed by all who came into contact with him over his years at Bay High School.

I am a graduate of the 2005 class of Bay Village. I was a student of Mark Ule's for honors Chemistry.

Mr. Ule was one of a handful of teachers in my life that left a lasting impression on who I have become today.

I struggled in high school with depression and I can remember his compassion in my time of pain. He did what great teachers did best; teach students to be more empathetic, to be more curious, and to always value education.

I remember his love for writing on the chalk board with different colors of chalk and his ability to make chemistry fun. I don't think I would have gotten through my chemistry class at the University of Michigan without using the notes and knowledge he gave me my junior year of high school.

I am blessed to have met him and honored to have had the privilege of being one of his students.

I had Mark for Science Major Chemistry and Advanced Placement Chemistry, and he was truly a gifted teacher. May his memory be eternal, and may those who mourn his passing find peace.

Mr Ule was my 10th grade chemistry teacher, and he was just fun. I will always remember the day that he set off a fireball in our chemistry class. He made it fun! He was always really supportive of his students and will be sorely missed.

His Socrates lecture on the first day of class did more for me than any philosophy course or reading I've done since. Mr. Ule knew himself and his subject, and he knew a surefire way to get others there: ask questions, and take Mozart as your soundtrack! He was part of the inspiration that led me down the track of teaching at the college level, and he remains one of my most-admired role models.

I never had Mr. Ule as a teacher but I always heard fantastic things about him and saw the light he brought into many student's lifes. May he rest in peace.

More than ten years ago I was a student in Mr. Ule’s Science Major Chemistry class, and I will never forget his personality, his caring attitude, and all that he taught me both about chemistry and about life in general. When I first met Mr. Ule it was to get his authorization to take his course, because at that time I didn’t have the necessary math background even though I wanted to take the course.

More than ten years ago I was a student in Mr. Ule’s Science Major Chemistry class, and I will never forget his personality, his caring attitude, and all that he taught me both about chemistry and about life in general. When I first met Mr. Ule it was to get his authorization to take his course, because at that time I didn’t have the necessary math background even though I wanted to take the course. He agreed, and said that I wouldn’t have any problem as long as I worked hard. I did have trouble with the subject at first, but Mr. Ule tirelessly helped me with all of the concepts until I grasped something I did not understand. He always made sure to communicate the fact that any knowledge I gained could be built upon later, and that it was learning and not necessarily grades that mattered. With his help I was receiving A’s in his class after a few weeks and learned a great deal. The things I remember most about Mr. Ule were that he treated each of his students like he would his own family and truly cared about every one of us as students and as people. He put so much time into the demonstrations he gave, and each time we would react in surprise or awe, our reaction was greeted with a smile, a laugh, and a gleam in his eye, as though he were a father watching a young child learn for the first time. The zest for teaching was obvious, because no matter how many times an experiment or lecture was given, Mr. Ule always made it new and interesting for his audience and never grew tired of teaching a concept. I also recall his ability to remember all of his lectures and formulae with only minimal notes used as cues. When asked, he commented that he had such a love of chemistry and had taught it so long that he knew pretty much every facet by heart. This was obviously true, considering that Mr. Ule put so much of his heart and personality into each and every lesson he taught. A difficult subject was made fun and interesting for future generations because one man was willing and able to share his passion and experience with others. Mr. Ule will always remain close to my heart and was more than a teacher and mentor—he was a friend.

I am so sorry to learn of Mr. Ule's illness and death. He was far too young.

My senior year I landed in Mr. Ule's chemistry class. I was afraid I wouldn't do well and so I took the class pass/fail which took the pressure off, but it also miffed Mr. Ule. It is a credit to his teaching that I actually would have gotten a good grade had I not gone pass/fail.

There are so many things I can't remember about

There are so many things I can't remember about my high school classes. Chemistry was not an interest of mine, but I have a lot of great memories from that class, and they all revolve around Mr. Ule's teaching.

What an incredible impact his life has had, he touched so many students' lives. He was the best kind of teacher, passionate about his subject and also about sharing it with his students. He had a gentleness, and good humor. He was truly a successful man in the best way. My heart goes out to his family.

he was a really great teacher.

the potassium experiment was awesome, and i never thought that wearing brown polyester pants was cool until i saw him do it.

he really inspired a love of science in me, and i think chemistry can be kind of boring if you don't approach it the right way... but when he taught it, it was clear that he was really enthralled with it, and it was through chemsitry that you could could really figure out...

i use the skills he taught me every day.

Mr Ule, you were the best teacher i ever had. you will be missed. Thank you for all you did for us.

Working with Mark in the science department was one of the great joys of my life. Nobody had a way with liquid nitrogen like Mark! The courtyard at Bay High is a memorial to his love of landscaping. I hope knowing that Mark was loved by his students and his colleagues is a comfort now in this time of grief. My deepest sympathy to Carol, Sue and Laura.

Mr. Ule was an amazing teach that made our Chemistry class so much fun. It's so incredibly heart breaking to think he is no longer with us. I send my deepest sympathies and fondest memories in order to keep him alight in our hearts:

Thanks Mark, for letting David and I play Jenga while the juniors had to take an Ohio required test.

Hearing about the loss of Mr Ule saddens me deeply. He was an incredably intelligent, funny, but most importantly, Caring teacher. one memory I have of him stands out. I wasn't the greatest science student and had to struggle to get B's and C's in his class. Even with that in mind, he sent a handwritten note in the mail with my last report card sophomore year, telling my mother that I had done a good job in his class. Thanks Mr Ule, you always showed that you really cared and you will be missed.

Sincerely,
-Jonah Martin

One of my favorite teachers at Bay High School. I am very sorry for your loss and my prayers are with Mr. Uhle.

Carol, Susan and Laura - I am so sorry for your loss. Although it has been a long time, solid loving families like yours remain on your mind. As much as I didn't like science "Mr. Ule" as I called him back in high school made it fun. I enjoyed being a part of your family during those babysitting years! Please accept my prayers for all of you. Jeanne Britton Hutter

Choosing a chemistry major in undergrad and now being close to completing my doctorate in chemistry are choices I made because of the love I have for the subject instilled in my by Mr. Ule. He will truly be missed.

Mr. Ule was one of my favorite teachers. Just last week I was going through a box of stuff from high school and found one of his positive notes, needless to say it went in the keep pile. My condolences to his family.

My Uncle was a gentle soul who will be truly missed. I've had many found memories growing up discussing science with him. He had a passion for the topic and was admired by many around him for his knowledge and search for truth.

I've met so many people on the Westside of Cleveland who knew my Uncle as a great teacher and advisor. Bay High was lucky to have him!

Thank to you those who have said such wonderful comments about a wonderful man.

God bless him and the rest of my family who are dealing with this loss.

I don't think I ever actually completed any of the labs, becuase my lab partner and I would eventually blow something up or ruin something else, but nonetheless Mr. Ule kept trying and teaching. He truely was gifted and brilliant, I can't imagine having to explain Chemestry to a bunch of freshman during the last hour of school every day, but he did it, and made it fun. He will be greatly missed by so many.

I had Mr. Ule for 1st period chemistry class, and although I wasn't the best student, he was always so cool to me. I remember him walking on his hands one day for the class, and it was so funny! Thanks for teaching me the periodic table and more Mark! Can I call you that now that I'm an adult?

Mr. Ule was an amazing teacher and great mentor! He will be greatly missed! My sympathy goes out to his wife and children.

Both my mother, (Karin Zisko) and I had Mr. Ule for Chemistry (she advancing onto AP Chem) but I specifically remember even before high school her telling me all the great things about Mr. Ule and how I would miss out if I did not take him for Chemistry After his class, I know she was exactly right. Mr. Ule was not only a great teacher but a great person and I will remember him always.

Mr. Ule was a wonderful teacher, and was always counted amongst my favorites in my memories of high school. He was a truly kind soul who loved what he did. There are many things I'll never forget, the most prominent being when he walked on his hands across the classroom (upon strong encouragement, of course, from the students in the class). Though I was never a great chemistry student by any means, Mr. Ule made the subject fun and accessible. The world has lost a wonderful educator and a truly great person.

I was not a lover of science, but I loved Mr. Ule's class. He had high expectations and pushed us to do our best, but created an incredibly warm environment in his classroom. Mr. Ule had a kind, quiet, and gentle personality, but his passion for science and for students was very evident. It seems pretty clear that he has had a major impact on many people just by being the person of character that he was. Thank-you, Mr. Ule!

One of the greatest teachers I have ever had. You will be missed, Mr. Ule.

This is such sad news. Mr. Ule was one of my favorites. He truly was one of those teachers you never forget.

I shared lunch with Mark for many years and enjoyed the depth and breadth of his knowledge. Bay High staff were fortunate to have this wonderful friend.

Mr. Ule was one of my favorite teachers I ever had during my time at Bay High School. He was one of the main reasons I went on to study chemical engineering in college.

I met Mark a number of times when he would come to Buffalo to visit his daughter Susan and his son in law (my best friend) Peter McGennis. What a wonderful man. He was kind and thoughtful. He loved his grandchildren dearly. I enjoyed reading all of the comments from so many of his students. Mark impacted and changed for the better so many lives. Hundreds, probably thousands.

He loved his grandchildren dearly. I enjoyed reading all of the comments from so many of his students. Mark impacted and changed for the better so many lives. Hundreds, probably thousands. His legacy and lessons have survived, and will continue to survive, the test of time. He was a special man indeed and he will be missed by so many. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Ule family.

It is so sad to hear of this. Mr. Ule was a wonderful teacher who touched the lives of so many young minds. To lose a man of his caliber in the educational world and in everyday life is a sad day indeed. My family and my thoughts go out to his wife and family. May He rest in Peace in the great science lab in the sky. Your in all Bay Alumni hearts.

Mr. Ule...or "Ule-Bobs" as he was affectionately known to the students who really liked him...ignited far more than bunsen burners and magnesium during his profound career. Teachers like this gentlemen are hard to find in any era. The guy really cared, not only for fostering and encouraging the intellectual well-being of his students, but for the students as people.

And he liked to have fun, too. His classroom was where mathematics and physics met conceptual horseplay. Besides analyzing equations, brilliant ways of adapting pressurized gas equipment to high-pressure water-cannon uses were routinely contemplated. I can safely say my life changed for the better under his watch. Thanks Mark. God bless you man.

Dear Carol and Family:
I will never forget working at Bay High School (library/media) and knowing Mark as the wonderful and kind teacher he always was. He was always very kind to me and he always managed to stay and talk with me whenever he would drop down to the library. Sometimes on his free periods, he would stop down to the library and catch up on his reading. I will never forget the time at a staff meeting when Mark

Dear Carol and Family:
I will never forget working at Bay High School (library/media) and knowing Mark as the wonderful and kind teacher he always was. He was always very kind to me and he always managed to stay and talk with me whenever he would drop down to the library. Sometimes on his free periods, he would stop down to the library and catch up on his reading. I will never forget the time at a staff meeting when Mark spoke very passionately about a science topic that really concerned him. That's how he was, very passionate about his interests and knowledges and oh so smart! Mark always struck me as a very intelligent man, the ideas and things he could forsee always amazed me but in a good way. That is why he was always able to ignite even the students who did not care for science and get them to see the value and meaning of it. I will also never forget our trip(s) to Europe, especially the last one. We had some good times on those trips and I will always remember the care and concern both of you gave to me during that trip and also during the time I worked at Bay High. May God Bless Mark and may God be with you and your family.

Absolutely wonderful man. I thought I LOVED chemistry after having Mr. Ule as a teacher. Turns out, I do not like the subject at all (which I realized after having other professors), but he was such an inspiring, enthusiastic teacher that I believe he could have made anyone enjoy any subject.

Mr. Ule was a great teacher. I actually looked forward to going to Chemistry class because he made it so interesting and fun. He was passionate about his field and it showed. Condolences to his family.

I sometimes can't believe how much I loved Mr. Ule's chemistry class. As a student that enjoyed art, music, and literature, science was usually the farthest thing from my mind. But Mr. Ule was able to make the subject matter exciting, aways encouraging his students to do their best. I will always remember Mr. Ule's personification of moving molecules, literally 'bouncing' around the room and his thoughtfulness when he wrote his students notes at the end of the year.

He will be greatly missed.

As a fellow teacher I give Mr. Ule the finest compliment I can--He taught students, not just his subject.
Mr. Ule knew and understood his students, he shared a passion for his subject, gave them a desire for learning and most of all gave a role model of a fine, dedicated, caring man who clearly loved his family and his vocation.
The world truly is a better place for having Mr. Ule in it. I know my son is a finer man for having had Mr. Ule as a teacher.
My deepest sympathies.

Mr. Ule was my Chemistry teacher in 1996. He loved the subject he taught so much that his students couldn't help loving it too! He expected us to try our best and perfect our work. I didn't think I was the best Chemistry student, however, Mr. Ule sent a "positive postcard" home to my parents telling them how hard I worked in class. As a teacher now at Bay Middle School, I try to remember to send out those "positive postcards" Thanks Mr. Ule!

I had recently been thinking about what great teachers I had in high school and Mr. Ule was certainly one of them. I remember his classes most fondly. As a Metallurgical Engineer I put the knowledge taught by Mr. Ule to good use. I was saddened to hear of his death at such a young age, especially after losing Adena, my wife of nearly twenty years on April 9, 2010, to breast cancer after she fought the disease for nearly fifteen years.

Requiescat in pace Mr. Ule.

We were so blessed in Bay with tremendous teachers and Mr. Ule was right there at the top. He made studying Chemistry enjoyable and fun. I can still remember hearing from his previous students about his hand-walking ability. We asked him and he sheepishly acknowledged it but I think he made us wait until the last day of class. And there he was walking on his hands. Mr. Ule taught us more than just chemistry. Imagine all the students influenced

May God comfort your family in this time of transition and celebration of this dear man's life.

Mr. Ule was a wonderful teacher.
Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Whenever I think about teachers who influenced me, Mr. Ule comes to mind. He was the kind of teacher that made you work hard but still love his class. I am a high school teacher now and hope to do challenge my students in the same way he challenged me every day. I remember his patience and his sense of humor--one day we even got him to walk on his hands in class, and we thought it was the greatest

I am a high school teacher now and hope to do challenge my students in the same way he challenged me every day. I remember his patience and his sense of humor--one day we even got him to walk on his hands in class, and we thought it was the greatest thing ever! He truly enjoyed teaching Chemistry and loved what he did, and you could see this in his class every single day. Some of my greatest memories in high school are from his class and from the things he taught me. Mr. Ule, you are simply one of the best. You will be missed.

My heart and love go out to all of you during this very difficult time. Susan - I love you and I hope you and your family can find some peace and comfort with each other and through the wonderful memories that people have shared.

Thinking of you all.

Mr. Ule was more than a great teacher, he was also a great friend to all of his students while in school as well as outside of school. And because of that he was able to really connect to all of his students. Were all going to miss you Mr. Ule and all of your amazing side walk chalk illustrations, and your famous molecule dance.

Mr. Ule was my biology teacher in my sophomore year in 1977-78. He was an amazing teacher and inspired my love for biology. I have many fond memories of him and am so sorry to hear of his passing. He was very much one of my favorite teachers who had a lasting impact on my career. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Mrs. Ule,

I am so sorry for your loss. Your husband was the most humble, wonderful teacher, neighbor, and friend of mine. I didn't even know you both had lived across the street from me until after I was finished with his class in '97, but I have never had anyone in my life encourage me in anything that I literally was horrible at, than he did in Chemistry. He never made me feel stupid. He always encouraged me to

Dear Mrs. Ule,

I am so sorry for your loss. Your husband was the most humble, wonderful teacher, neighbor, and friend of mine. I didn't even know you both had lived across the street from me until after I was finished with his class in '97, but I have never had anyone in my life encourage me in anything that I literally was horrible at, than he did in Chemistry. He never made me feel stupid. He always encouraged me to understand. Somehow he always gave me a C"+" - even when I didn't think I deserved the plus. He was gracious towards me and made me feel special - and now I see from the hundreds of stories on his memorial that I was not the exception, I was the rule. He treated everyone as if they were special, all the while never being afraid to laugh at himself. And he always blushed if he ever heard how great people really saw him.

I am honored that he took the time to come to my high school graduation and that I was able to introduce him to my (who'd a thunk?) Micro-Biology major husband - and that he even met my daughter. He continued to jog past my street and stay in touch with me.

I am so thankful that he gave in my life. Thank you for making him into the wonderful man he was.

My sincerest condolences,

Vanessa Tang

Mr. Ule was not only a passionate educator, but a kind person with a great sense of humor. Chemistry was not something that I loved, and yet I loved his class. Now a teacher, I have told my own students today about him... I will always remember him. His family is in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest condolences to the Ule family. I graduated from Bay HIgh School in 1997 and was fortunate to have been one of Mr. Ule's chemistry students. Mr. Ule's dedication to teaching helped inspire me to pursue a career in education. He will be greatly missed, but his legacy will live on through his family, friends and students.

As Mark's niece, I never got to see the side of him that is described in the numerous comments left by his former students. It is so nice to hear what a tremendous impact he had on so many lives. He will be greatly missed by so many people.

Mr. Ule was loved by so many! He was definitely a favorite teacher and will be remembered for so many things...his handstands, writing with his chalk utensils and the very neat handwriting he had, seeing him run the streets of Bay, and all of the fun components that he would add to the lessons. I know that he left a mark on so many over his 30+ years of teaching at Bay High School...and will be missed by so many. Please accept my deepest sympathies.

There are only a handful of teachers who ever really made a real and lasting impression on me, and Mr. Ule was one of them. Not only did he teach his subject with passion, but he also taught all of us what it means to live a life filled with passion. He will be missed by every student who was lucky enough to have him as a teacher. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

Mr. Ule was one of my favorite teachers. He made a boring subject(to me) interesting and fun. He had a great sense of humor and was not afraid to laugh at himself. I will always remember him fondly. God bless the Ule family.

Mr. Ule was an amazing and compassionate person to everyone I know. He helped me through my high school years and molded me to become what I am today.

I am greatly saddened to learn of his passing and my thoughts and prayers are with his family.

It was just a short time ago that I was talking with an old BHS friend about our favorite teachers from the past, one of the ones that came to mind first for the both of us was Mr.Ule. Although I was not the best student in Chemistry, Mr.Ule always pushed me past the "I can't" to the "ok, Maybe I can..." and finally to the "I GET it!". He was funny, caring, particular (I think I re-did homework more

It was just a short time ago that I was talking with an old BHS friend about our favorite teachers from the past, one of the ones that came to mind first for the both of us was Mr.Ule. Although I was not the best student in Chemistry, Mr.Ule always pushed me past the "I can't" to the "ok, Maybe I can..." and finally to the "I GET it!". He was funny, caring, particular (I think I re-did homework more times for him than for any other teacher based on neatness!), and most of all an exceptional teacher. We all couldn't help but love him! Mr. Ule, you will be deeply missed.

Mr. Ule believed in me as a student; I took his class a year ahead of everyone else. He would NOT let me fail; he inspired me to love the field of science and the scientific process. He inspired me to become a teacher and when people ask about teachers I had growing up I wanted to emulate, he is one of them. Rest in piece my friend, and let the classical music carry you home.

Mr. Ule was such a wonderful teacher. I was so sorry to learn of this news. Although I had not seen Mr. Ule since 1996, the memory of him walking on his hands still makes me smile. Please accept my deepest sympathies. Mr Ule will truly live on through all the students from Bay High. He made such a positive impact on many many lives.

I still talk about things Mr. Ule taught me in Chemistry. It was my favorite science class by far, and that was due to his genuine love of the subject he was teaching. You just knew Mr. Ule found it all just as cool as we did. It was clear that he was as excited by it in his 38th year as he no doubt had been in his first. That was the gift he gave his students. Never complacent,

Mr. Ule was a teacher who I will never forget. He made chemistry fun and explained and demonstrated it in a way that kids understood. Who can forget when we finally got him to walk on his hands. My thoughts go out to your family.

Mr. Ule you got me to enjoy the one thing I always hated, science. You will always be in my thoughts. Thank you for all that you have taught me.

Mr. Ule is the greatest chemistry teacher I have ever had. His passion for teaching the subject and ability to instill the chemical knowledge into me has been a factor in my decision to pursue a chemical engineering degree. Mr. Ule will never be forgotten, not only because of memories for his love for sour apple blow pops, playing classical music, or the different ways he wrote with his sidewalk chalk; but because he was an outstanding human being who found the best in everyone. He will truly be missed.

Mark was a wonderful educator and everyone who knew him was touched by his sincerity and sense of humor. He certainly was the master teacher of chemistry which all of his students will attest to. One of the fondest memories I have of Mark and his students, was when they referred to him as Mr. MolecULE. Mark also enjoyed having cookouts for his advanced chemistry students.

Mark is, and will continue to be, missed by his colleagues at Bay High. He was a teacher who cared passionately about his students, his discipline and his craft. My thoughts are with his family.

Mark was an excellent chemistry teacher. His students truly loved him. He was funny and they appreciated his teaching style. As a friend, I will miss him.

Mr. Ule was my favorite teacher in high school. He was funny, caring, and a fantastic educator. I still pull out my AP Chemistry notes in my 5th year of grad school to check how Mr. Ule explained certain things. He inspired me to pursue science as a career and specifically to educate others. I am truly saddened by his loss. He will be missed by many students.

Mr. Ule was a fantastic teacher that gave us science with imagination, passion, and fearlessness. He dove into an AP Chemistry program head on, when it hadn't existed before, and I took that class not for college credit, but because it meant that I would get to have Mr. Ule as a teacher for a second year. I think of Mr. Ule each time I add salt to boil water for pasta (it boils faster!), and will never forget the surprise fireball demonstration. My thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Ule's family.

It's been probably 30 years since I saw Mark, but I still remember our family trip that included a visit to the Ule's. My borther and I had a lot of fun putting on a show with the girls, and I know all four parents enjoyed the entertainment. I remember Mark as being a kind host for us. My parents have always talked so positively about Carol and Mark and my heart goes out to Carol and to the girls.

As a high school teachre myself, I am inspired by the memories from his studetns described above; I'm sorry that his teaching career had to be cut short by his health.

Mark's wife Carol and I were classmates and close friends in college. I'll always remember Carol coming back after summer break with gold dust in her eyes and talking about meeting "the one" during her sumer job back home in Ohio. Following their marriage, Carol and Mark started their married life out here in California and we had many good visits together both at their apartment and at our home in Oxnard.

Mark's wife Carol and I were classmates and close friends in college. I'll always remember Carol coming back after summer break with gold dust in her eyes and talking about meeting "the one" during her sumer job back home in Ohio. Following their marriage, Carol and Mark started their married life out here in California and we had many good visits together both at their apartment and at our home in Oxnard.
Carol and Mark were one of our first couple friends to get pregnant; then we also were expecting our first child. When Carol and Mark moved back to Bay Village, we kept up our correspondence; eventually we were able to take a trip to visit the young family with our two children. When we arived at their home on the 4th of July, we were met with a holiday feast and croquet on Mark's beautiful lawn. That night our kids saw their first lightning bugs and we walked to view the fireworks at Bay High School.
Mark and Dick enjoyed talking about science immensely and we all shared many wonderful dialogues through the years.
May God take Mark to his bosom and give strength to Carol and Sue and Laura.

Carol, Sue and Laura,
My deepest condolences on your loss! Mark was a good collegue to all of us at Bay High and a wonderful and beloved teacher of hundreds and hundreds of students. He will be missed. God bless you and comfort your in your grief.

Mr Ule, you touched so many of our lives and for that we are eternally grateful. Thank you for making learning so enjoyable. You will be missed, but will never be forgotten, your spirit will live on forever in all of us. Thank you for your many years of service and bettering the lives of so many people.

Mr. Ule was an incredibly dedicated teacher, someone who I feel lucky to have had as a teacher in high school. He had a real gift for making chemistry interesting for his students, and he found so many ways to make classes fun and exciting!

I remember him walking on his hands in class after we begged him so many times for a demonstration! I also remember when he brought in his 100-CD changer and played his favorite music for his classes. Mr. Ule was a great educator who truly cared about connecting with his students. He will definitely be missed by all the students whose lives he touched over the years.

Although it's been a while since I sat in his classroom, Mr. Ule was one of my favorite teachers at Bay High. He had a knack for making chemistry interesting to those of us who had zero aptitude for it. His classes were always fun and often full of suprises. My heartfelt condolences to Mrs. Ule, Sue & Laura, he will be missed.

The perfect blend of inspiration, effort, and humor, Mr. Ule made a lasting impression on me, and as I can see from the other notes, many other students. He had such a love for his garden, and told so many good stories during class. He embodied so much of what makes a teacher important to students...and I'm not just talking about walking on his hands and having one of the best Popeye impressions around...he knew how to teach, and he did it well.

I'll miss you, Mr. Ule. God bless.

Mr. Ule was the best honors Chemistry teacher ever. I learned so much in his class and I will always smile and laugh at the image of him doing the atom dance.

Mr. Ule was a great teacher in a subject in which I had little aptitude. He had a way of passing the knowledge on to me, however, in his creative way. He was also very kind to me over the years. My condolensces to the family.

Out of all the teachers and professors I've had over the years, Mr. Ule made the biggest impact. His ability to teach chemistry was unmatched -- the amount of information I have retained 13 years after taking his course is unreal.

It was always a joy to be in his class. He greeted everyone with a smile, treated everyone with respect and made dry material fun. He was truly an asset to the teaching profession and an all-around great human being. He will be greatly missed.

so sorry to hear of his passing. he was a great teacher.

Mr. Ule was an incredible teacher and his dedication to his students was inspiring. I'll never forget how he rode a double-decker bus with 50+ Seniors to our Prom because we needed an adult chaperone ... looking back, this was very BRAVE :-)

Mr. Ule will be missed and he + his family are in our thoughts & prayers ....

Mr Ule was a phenomenal teacher - his humor, enthusiasm, and dedication to his students' success made him unforgettable. I remember the time spent in his classes as a high point in my education, and I know that he had the same impact on many others. I am truly saddened by his passing.

Mr. Ule was a wonderful Chemistry teacher. As a teacher now, I aspire to ignite the interest in science that he ignited in us.

You will be missed Mr. Ule, you meant so much to your students!

Mr. Ule was my first teacher of sophomore year. He was a great educator and an even better guy. His stories were funny, and I loved his sidewalk chalk and claims that the chalkboard would dry faster depending on the time of year. I still have the note he wrote me that came with my report card after completing his class that year. He'll be missed.

I had Mr. Ule my sophomore year for chemistry. I was not a great chemistry student, but Mr. Ule let me make mistake after mistake. I broke a thermometer and let mercury seep throughout the room and also had an extra drawer where I hid all the lab equipment I had broken throughout the semester. When he found it he jokily made a "I hate Hayley Club" and invited all the students who didn't break equipment to join him in

I broke a thermometer and let mercury seep throughout the room and also had an extra drawer where I hid all the lab equipment I had broken throughout the semester. When he found it he jokily made a "I hate Hayley Club" and invited all the students who didn't break equipment to join him in enjoying Kool Aid in class while I cleaned my drawer. Now, as a teacher myself, I see how the connections he had with his students are lifelong memories. Thanks Mr. Ule, you were an excellent educator.

Mr. Ule was an amazin teacher and man! He had the best stories consisting of chipmunks in his backyard, having races wit the dryingearse board, and talking about his love for magenta chalk! He gave everyone little nicknames Mine was the frog because how i sat in class! He deeply cared for each and everyone of his students! He will truly be missed!!

Mr. Ule was one of the best teachers I have ever had. He truly cared about each and every one of his students. I will always remember his fun stories, and how he used to purposely misspell words on the chalk board just to see if we were paying attention. His love and passion for teaching was always evident, which made learning from him a true joy. He has touched so many people's lives, and I know he will be greatly missed.

Mr. Ule was an incredible teacher who really cared about each student. I have so many fond memories of him- from his love of magenta sidewalk chalk, his keen interest in the time it took the blackboard to dry after he sponged it clean, to the personal notes he put in all of our report cards. He will be greatly missed.

Mr. Ule was a great teacher and mentor. He always put his students first no matter what and even wrote me a note after the class was over. He was a very caring person and he will be greatly missed!
