I remember when I used to go to school I rode a bus, it was the same bus driver from kindergarten-4th grade, he was nice, when I was in kindergarten my brother didn't go to school one day he let me sit beside him because I was scared to sit alone.
He can get angry sometimes but that was only when you were annoying.
It's too bad he died, it was the year before I left public school, I believe it was a heart attack and he had heart problems.
