It’s not often that you come across someone who, through nothing more than his sense of humor in less than 180 characters, draws you into his world. I was lucky to see @whisper1111’s tweets a couple of years ago and we began following each other on Twitter and I must say I learnt from his political wisdom.
I was greatly sadden today when I received a tweet from @deniseromano – mutual twitter friend – stating that @Whisper1111, known to his friends and family as Michael Fogelsanger, had died. He was 63 years old.
According to his obituary, Michael died on July 14th, 2015. He was born in Philadelphia and was a teacher for 40 years working for the Philadelphia School District, the Upper Township School District, the Middle Township School District, Penn State University and Nittany Valley Charter School before retiring in June of 2014. And you would never know this from reading his tweets but according to his obituary, Michael created an at-risk program for students called “Team Infinity” with both the Philadelphia School District and the Middle Township School District.
@Whisper1111 – an amazing man with a life-long career of giving back to his community.
Rest In Peace Michael Fogelsanger.
