Arthur A. Iacuzio Jr
Arthur A. Iacuzio, Jr., a lifelong Stamford resident, passed away Wednesday, July 1, 2020. He was 85 years old. Arthur was born in Stamford on February 12, 1935 to the late Arthur A. Iacuzio, Sr. and Helen Zirello Iacuzio. He grew up in a warm and loving home, in the heart of Stamford's Westside, surrounded by family and friends.
After graduating Stamford High School in 1953, Arthur went on to earn a Bachelor of Science degree from Fordham University; a master's degree from Columbia University, a 6th year teaching degree from Fairfield University and finally a Doctorate in Education from Nova University in 1979. Arthur began his career in education as a math teacher at Burdick Middle School and Stamford High School, before becoming the principal of both Rippowam and West Hill High Schools. Arthur retired from his distinguished career in education in 1989, and went on to become a successful real estate agent with Davidoff Realty Co. He was a lifelong, devoted parishioner of Sacred Heart Church, where he was a member of the Parish Council, the Holy Name Society and a Trustee. Arthur was also a passionate and devoted fan to all the NY sport teams, as well as UConn girls' basketball team; he also loved to solve the crossword puzzle, and in his younger years, enjoyed a round of golf with his friends, vacations on the coast of Maine and the Jersey Shore, and family gatherings.
Arthur was a loving husband, father, uncle brother, and a loyal friend. He was always full of wisdom and good advice; he had a great sense of humor; he loved to laugh and tell stories about the good old days. Arthur is survived by his loving wife, Victoria Mennona Iacuzio, his beloved son Stephen John Iacuzio, his sister Ann Iacuzio Angotto (Sam, deceased) and 4 nieces and 1 nephew. To honor his life, family and friends will gather Monday, July 6th 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Lacerenza Funeral Home, 8 Schuyler Avenue, Stamford.

Dearest Vicky and Stephen,
We are so saddened by the news of Arts passing. Art was a wonderful person. He contributed so much of himself to Stamford Public Schools, Sacred Heart Church, the Stamford community and all his friends and family. He was the kindest, most loving, most generous and caring man ever. We will truly miss him, but he will never be forgotten. God bless you both.
Our thoughts and prayers are always with you.
Love,

Dear Mrs. Iacuzio, my deepest sympathies to you and your Family. Arthur was my Principal at Rippowan High School, more years ago then I would like to admit. He was always so kind when ever I would run into him around Stamford. A true Christian gentelman. God bless him. May he rest in peace.

Dear VIcky, Stephen and family members,
We send our most sincere condolences to you on this profound loss to your family. It is a loss to so many of us who have known, worked with, learned from, laughed with and loved him. We are sad along with you. Our memories are vivid and indelible. He gave us all so much of himself and we all became better people and educators because of him. He is the first principal I worked for at Rippowam High School and as a young, first year teacher, he was the best! He will be missed. May you find strength and peace in your strong faith, memories, love and the many lessons and words of comfort and advice I am sure he has given to you.
