Read MoreMy thoughts and prayers go out to your family. I feel as though I grew up with Charlie as he taught my brother Bobby, who was blind, to play the accordion on a weekly basis in the late 60's to mid 70's. He was a very kind man.

Sorry to learn of the passing of Mr. Scanzello.
I have many fond memories of him when I was in the Marching Band/Concert Bands -1972-1976. I especially enjoyed playing in the Clarinet Ensemble.

There are not many people like my Uncle Charlie - a truly unique individual with such talent, charm, wit, passion, compassion, sense of humor, and an overall demeanor appreciated by all.

I worked with Charlie several summers at KU. He was a funny, gregarious, and caring man. An endless fountain of Haiku!

Charlie was very special. We spent 3 weeks in Italy in '98 with Dr Bellardo's group. He enjoyed teaching and reading Haiku to the group. He kindly insisted on buying me a cappuccino every day. After the trip he had 2 of us students over to his home for breakfast where he enjoyed having his stereo turned up loud! Some very fond memories. -Mike Krissinger

I am so sorry for your loss! I enjoyed Professor Scanzello's KU music class! Also, he attended many of my college softball games. I enjoyed hearing him cheering me on from the bleachers! My deepest condolences to your family. Jen (Hummel) Thomas Class of '98
