Mrs. Bearzi-I am sorry for your loss. I had Mr. Bearzi as a choir teacher at Palmer. He was an inspiration. I am now a teacher myself and hope to inspire students as he did.

Mr. Bearzi was one of the best teachers I ever had at Palmer ('83-86). I will always remember him fondly. Thank you for everything Mr. B, you will be missed!

Like so many of his students, I also have fond memories of his direction as my choir teacher. I teach high school English, and I find myself using Mr. Bearzi's lines of encouragement and humor. My sympathies to the family on the loss of this wonderful man and teacher.

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Bearzi. I was in choir at Wasson from 1969 to 1971 and have fond memories of our concerts under his direction. My fondest memory was playing the part of the Mayor of Dog Patch in Li'l Abner. Mr. Bearzi expected the best from his students but always made it fun. My condolences to the entire Bearzi family.

Mr Bearzi was a great teacher and the reason I pursued a career in Music Education. He recognized my talent,encouraged me to learn and introduced me to classical music. Daily I strive to be the teacher to my students as he was to me. I'm saddened by his passing. My condolences to his family.

My heart is saddened tonight at the loss of Mr.B. I was in choir at Wasson from 1969 to 1971 under his direction. There are so many memories and wonderful moments from those years with him that have carried me over the years and will continue to do so. We took a choir trip to Westcliff one year and I took a hike with him up one side of the Mt. From that time forward he called me Mt Masuvious because of my energy. He will be forever with me. My prayers to the family. Thanks Mr. B for the...

John Bearzi was a warm and wonderful man and his musical memories will always be with us.
Love, Jan and Paul Wisowaty and Kay Walker

Mr. Bearzi introduced me to the love of Choral music. I was a student of his from 1969-1971, and was in the Wa-Tones, and Choristers. He was a great teacher, who made us laugh, and we had fun with him and sometimes called him "Mr. Bazoozi"! Ha! I will never forget those three years at Wasson. We also did Li'l Abner the musical. I got to do the part of Senator Fogbound! Many years later in the late 70's to early 80's, Mr. Bearzi moved to Palmer High School and taught vocal music to at least...
