To The Pozzi Family
I am sorry to hear about your lost. My prayers are with you. I've gotten to know Mr. Pozzi...he always kept a smile on my face. He brightens my day up, whenever he came from Dialysis...even when he wasn't feeling well. He will be missed. I believe he's in a better place not suffering anymore.

Carlos, mi Querido amigo latinoamericano. Que don tenia de Dios y gracias por enriquecer las vida de los alumnos de Richmond.
Era mas que un maestro - tambien un amigo, un padre, y un hermano y un mentor.
Ahora, entiendo por que todos sus alumnos recibian un "A" - un mensaje y leccion muy fuerte.
Descansa En Paz, mi amigo. Te vere por la manana.

I will always remember Carlos fondly. Though I never studied guitar, he was my first Spanish teacher at the William Fox School Terra Lingua Academy when I was about 9 years old. Carlos was a kind soul who touched many lives. The kids of Richmond were enriched by his teaching and his joyful presence. My condolences to Julian and family.

Though we live far from Richmond now in CT, Edgar and I are very sorry to hear about your father passing away. We have fond memories of him from our days at Richmond Community and how much he loved you, his family, students, music and the great love of teaching and playing. We are sorry for your loss.

Carlos, you taught me everything I know about classical guitar when I studied with you at RCHS 1986-1987. Thank you for broadening my horizons to a whole new world of guitar and music. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Rest in peace dear friend...

I had taken Mr. Pozzi guitar class when I was a freshman at RCHS class of '94. He was so kind and generous. He will be missed.
