To the Family of Vincent Distasio,
I wish to express my sincere sympathy to all. Mr. Distasio was my high school history teacher whom I remember fondly. Later I became I colleague of his in the E.H. School system and told him he was one of my favorite teachers. As our reirement years came upon us and I would see him shopping time to time, I always remember his caring ways and wonderful smile.
With sympathy,
Terri Sciarra (Retired colleague and former student)
