FRANK WILLIAM BRAZINSKI

He was my music teacher at School #5 in Oceanside. He wrote a short musical for my class. I don't remember much of it, but I remember the following: "You are the apple of your father's eye, you are your father's son til the day you die". He was awesome and memorable. Can't believe I remember that more than 50 years later. Rip Mr Brazinski!

What a beautiful picture. Mr. Brazinski was one of the greatest teachers I ever had. He always saw the best and everyone standing in front of him. He always encouraged you to be who you are and to shine. I had him from kindergarten until my senior year. He was always someone I could turn to and lean on. I learned so much from him , not only about music but about being a good Christian child. I am sure that the family misses him My prayers are with you.

What an amazing teacher! I can still picture Mr. Brazinksi in class ... his love of music was contagious and his passion for teaching boundless. I was his student in school #5 in the early 70's. Every time I pick up an instrument, I am grateful for him and the education he provided. RIP Mr. Brazinski and thank you

Mr. Brazinski was a nice man. He was very talented and he brought joy to his students. He is missed, but not forgotten.

He was my music teacher at School 5 from 1976-1981 and a great one at that! He loved what he did and it showed. He will be greatly missed!

I remember arriving at School #5 on January 6, 1974 from the NYC school system. Mr. Brazinski was very welcoming to my sisters and I. My fondest memory was when the school did the play Lotus Blossom that year and he and Mrs. Louie worked together on the production. He definitely helped strengthen my appreciation for music to this very day. My deepest condolences go out to your family during this difficult time. Godspeed.

Mr. Brazinski was a wonderful man and teacher. I can still picture him at his piano putting his all into every piece. He was a very patient man. I remember when he was trying to tell me nicely that I should change instruments. I couldn't make a sound with the clarinet that I wanted to play. He was very sweet and patient with me and I will always remember that. You know that someone is very special when you can remember them almost 50 years later. Mister Brazinski was 1 of those people! He...

I was so sad to hear of Mr. B.'s passing. I can still picture him at the piano at School #5. My sisters and I still sing the School #5 theme song to this day, and I've taught it to my kids! Thoughts and prayers....

So sorry to hear of Mr.B's passing. He was my music teacher at school #5 in Oceanside in the 1970s. We all really loved him! Rest in peace..
