John Baptist DiMaggio

Mr Dimaggio was my science teacher at Bay Academy. A very kind man. Endoplasmic reticulum, he use to like to say that word and I find that term popping into my head over the years. "Its fun to say, rolls off the tongue". He liked to sit with his legs crossed and would tell us he was always made fun for it. But that he always sat like that all his life. When I sit with my legs crossed. I think of him. Just found out he passed away from a google search, sitting at the beach with my legs...

John was a big help to anyone who needed it.I am sure his wife will carry on with the work they did visiting nursing homes with their dogs.God bless all people like John & his wife who did these kind acts.

John was a wonderful teacher & friend.He worked with us at PS22 for several years.He will be missed.

I believe Mr. Di Maggie was my 6th Grade teacher at PS 22, 1964. Staten Island. This may have been his first year teaching in his 20´s. Thank you Mr. DiMaggio. I became a middle school and environmental science teacher. I missed out on telling him he was memorable.
