To the Piazza family, I wish to convey my deepest sympathy. Leonard Piazza was a lovely man who was a family friend. I am so sorry for your loss. I knew him from the Johnson School in Nahant also. I pray that you are comforted in this time of such monumental loss.

Mr. Piazza was a wonderful person and the principal of my school in Nahant, MA. He was a friend of my family and I will always remember the times we spent together at school and with our families. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Piazza was my principal in Nahant Jr. High. My name was Linda Cooke then, it is now Linda Johnson. My Mother Patricia Twiss worked for Mr. Piazza. He was a good friend to our family. I wrote him a Christmas card every year since 1969. I am now 63 years old and have had the pleasure of knowing a wonderful man since 1957.

Mr. Piazza was a big part of my life, and a big influence on my life's ambitions. When I was in Jr. High he would have me come to the office during lunch and answer phones to help out the secretary. I always wanted to be a school secretary. I retired in 1995 from the Saugus School District in California where I was a school secretary.

He was a big part of my life and I will always be thankful for all the wonderful memories I have shared in knowing him.

He will be greatly missed and I am so sorry to hear that he has passed.
