I absolutely loved Mr. Piagari when he taught at Holmes Jr High. He made math fun, for me (class of 1969) which couldn´t have been easy. I´m very sorry for your loss.

I am so saddened by this news. Mr. Piagari taught me so much more than numbers on paper. He showed me ways to utilize math in my everyday life. He was the first teacher that really showed me how to use what I learned in a classroom in my everyday life. So grateful to have had him as a teacher. My condolences to the family.

My deepest condolences.
One of the joys of working at City Hall was seeing one of my favorite Dempster Jr High teachers come in every once in a while. Thank you Mr. P for all of your dedicated years of teaching and God Bless. You will be missed.
