John Tomasetti

John was a wonder , kind and very talented man. I met John many years ago and had become a fan of his lovely artwork . John will be missed ..

John and I met the summer between 3rd and 4th grade. We lived on the same street in the Wollaston area of Quincy although my end was called Tyler St. and his end was called Oxenbridge Rd. We were probably half a dozen houses apart. I knew his family and he knew mine. All are now gone. We were both middle children and young for our class as most of our senior year in high school we were 16. We walked to school together most of the days of all those years. At 10 years old we both got paper...

I was so sad to hear of Mr. Tomasetti´s passing. He was the best of the best! I believe that I was in one of his first classes at Erving Elementary school. I will always be grateful that I had him as a teacher for two years, at such a young age! He made such an impact on so many of usRest in peace, Mr. Tomasetti. You will always be remembered! Sincerely, Kelly

It is with appreciation of John and profound sadness that this talented educator and artist has left us. As the former Erving Elementary School Principal, I had the distinct good fortune to "recruit" him away from Wendell to join our staff back in the early 1970's. At that time, it was unfashionable for a male to teach early primary grade students, but John became a role model in doing so. As a teacher in our Level 1 Team Teacher model - a combined grade level of first and second grade...

Mr. T was my first grade teacher as well as my son's first grade teacher. He made a lasting impact on both our lives through his teaching. He will be greatly missed.

I have heard John's name for many years before I ever met him. He was a very dear friend of both my parents through the Deeefield Valley Art Association. When my sister moved to MA to care for our parents, I met John and Terry several times. I was so glad Susan developed such a wonderful friendship with both of them. After Terry passed, Susan and John kept that friendship going. Thank you John for all you did for my parents, and over thr last few years for Susan. She may have been John's...

Mr. T was my first grade teacher in 1977, and we all adored him. He was so good with kids. The world needs more men like him. He will be missed!

Mr. T - You were a great teacher. Rest in peace.

This breaks my heart...love you , Mr T.. Thanks for absolutely everything
