He was a great teacher and a great person he was my teacher in seventh grade I think that was his first year as a full time teacher at the end of that year we all went to his home for a picnic and him and his wife treated us real good R.I.P Mr B you will be missed

Thanks for all the memories Mr. B!!! We had a great 5th grade class in 1980. You have always been remembered fondly and I've loved sharing stories about your class. You helped us learn about ourselves and each other - not just academics - and of course, Neil Diamond lyrics. RIP. Condolences to the whole Buccellato family. May you always keep him in your hearts so that you always smile.

Most incredible and memorable teacher I have ever had! He was my fifth grade teacher at Middle Gate School in Newtown,CT. I now have a daughter of my own who is currently in fifth grade and I JUST got finished telling her about how my favorite grade in school was my fifth and it was because of Mr. B! And I think he created a great deal of Neil Diamond fans...can't listen to a Neil Diamond song without thinking of Mr. B! He has surely left a positive footprint in every heart he has encountered!

I was one of the lucky kids to have Mr. B as my 5th grade teacher. He made learning fun and gave us many great memories. My condolences to his family.

Such sad news to hear of Mr.B and his passing. I was a student of his in Hawley School, back in his beginning years 1966-1967 :)) Have never forgotten him & never will. God Bless his family in this time of sorrow.
