Beloved longtime Portland Public Schools custodian Jean Claude Phanor, 64, passed away on Aug. 16, following a brief illness. Jean Claude spent 30 years with the district, most recently working at Lyseth Elementary School, where Principal Sara Goodall shared this message: "Jean Claude was one of the kindest people; he loved his grandkids and his sons, and while the last year was hard for him, he was always a dedicated and hard worker for kids and staff and a member of the Portland Public Schools and our community for many, many years. He will be missed." Read Jean Claude's obituary, leave a tribute and learn about visitation and services HERE.
