Though our paths crossed at NYU and on the floor of the Exchange, we were never introduced. Your books gave me great insights and encouragement. Having much in common, I hoped we would finally meet. I was planning to contact you today when I learned this truly sad news of your passing.

The spirit of our loved ones remain in our consciousness,...

Dr. Trongone was my 1st ever gym Teacher at Franklin School. He was the first teacher to introduce me to a wide range of Sports. He was certainly the most fittest teacher I've ever had. I can honestly say my love for Sports and Physical Activities began because of his Love and Passion he had for Teaching his students. May He RIP..

RIP #43. It was a an honor and a pleasure to be your running mate in the KHS backfield, 4x220 relay partner, co-founding members of the Kearny Athletic Club and friend from the day we met in 1963. One last "Toast to the Gru" Tony, from #33.

Mr. Trongone was my gym teacher at Franklin School from K-3rd grade. Even though he last taught me in 1978 I still remember him. He was the cool teacher before I knew what cool was. RIP Mr. Trongone

Mr. Trongone was my gym teacher at Franklin School. He used to let us play on the scooters all the time. It was the best. He always had great music playing when we ran into the gym. Such fond memories of him during my years at Franklin. May he Rest In Peace

I’m so sorry to hear of Mr.Trongone passing. He was my PE teacher back in Franklin School. He was the absolute coolest teacher ever. I remember him teaching us to roller skate and then later in the day, he would be skating down the hallway ( with steps). May he Rest In Peace ❤
