Not sure what to say?

Great guy-Gave me encouragement

John and Eunice.....(rarely is one name mentioned without the other)... were the fresh air and sparkle to any group gathering. At Belmont Day Camp they recruited a staff who truly cared about the kids as much as they did and together sparked a summer of fun for all. Unable to say goodbye at the end of a summer, we enjoyed off-season fun as well. There were many post-Labor Day annual weekends on Nantucket, lots of visits to their home on Moose Pond in Maine, always a Super Bowl party...

Rest peacefully , Uncle John.

I had the privilege of playing for Coach Nunziato from 68-70. Coach Nunziato was a great builder of character in young men. Coach will be missed. Bob Cowan SHS Football.

I am so sad to hear this news of his passing. I fondly remember Mr. Nunziato from my mid-70s Somerville High School years. He told us that while Happy Days had "The Fonz", we had "The Nunz"! He remains to this day one of my all-time favorite teachers. He had a very special talent of keeping us engaged, while learning things I remember to this day,, while making his classes fun and enjoyable. What a kind and wonderful gentleman. You´ll be missed, Mr. Nunz!

I had the pleasure of living next door to John and Eunice in Woburn for many years. They were like surrogate parents to me, always asking whether I had a good day or stopping to chat about whether I had eaten dinner. He was humble about his accomplishments and a lovely, kind man. I think of him often and smile.

I´m so sorry to learn of of you Dad´s passing. I worked with both your parents at BDS and BDC back in the late 70´s, and unfortunately lost touch. Two of the finest.

Sorry for your loss Prayers for all

Thank you for your service to our country. May you rest in peace.
