Frank A. Cerqueira

On the anniversary of Frank´s passing, heartfelt thoughts and wishes for only happy memories go out to Diane and the rest of the family.

Months later, I've just learned of Mr. Cerqueira's passing. He was among my best and favorite teachers. I loved his class and have always been grateful for his unfailingly high standards, boisterous sense of humor, fascination with history and love for his students. He set a high bar for us all and inspired us to make him proud. My condolences go out to his family. May his memory always be a blessing.

Diane, I am so sorry to hear of Frank passing. Cherish your memories. Sending hugs and prayers of comfort your way.

He was my home room teacher and History teacher. He was the only teacher I ever had that made history so interesting and fun to learn. I have always told everyone that he is the reason I took History in college.

Mr. Cerqueira was a standout educator at Jackson High. I was fortunate enough to have him for History Class and he made learning engaging and fun. Rest in Peace Mr. C

I am greatly saddened by your passing, Frank.

As a co-worker and co-coach you were outstanding in every way.

You taught the basics of field events to me in the Jackson High School track program.

I was energized and inspired by your approach, knowledge and enthusiasm and continued to apply methods and techniques that you taught to me for twenty five years.


the parties at your home immediately following the J.D's track invitational were always...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Sending love and prayers to all.

Mr. Cerqueira was a great History Teacher. Always enjoyed his class. My deepest sympathy. Brian Shinn (JHS class of 78)
