Terri - Please accept my sincere sympathy for the loss of your dad. As you know, he made a great impression on me as my teacher at Fairfield Prep. I still picture him instructing algebra to those of us not quite getting it with that wry smile. Know how much of an impact he had on so many. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was a student of Mr. Autuori back in the 70's at Trumbull High School. I was failing algebra. He took the time to tutor me after school for many weeks. My final grade for that year was an A. I will always remember his patience and kindness. Heaven has welcomed a wonderful man...
