Mr. Canamucio had a profound effect on my life. I know it was his influence that led me to become a software engineer and, later in my career, a rocket and satellite scientist. Thank you, Mr. C!!!

Mr. Canamucio was the best teacher I had! I was in the class of 1961 from Nether Providence High School and thanks to him, I became a software engineer and, for the last seventeen years of my career, a rocket and satellite scientist!

Mr C was without a doubt my all time favorite teacher during my high school career. Our nickname for him was moose. He was a great teacher and I learned a lot and carried it to my college math classes. We liked him so much our Senior year several of us got him a bottle of his favorite whiskey recommended by Joe Profetta and came to the house to surprise him for Christmas. He was a great guy May he rest in peace.

I loved Math, because he made it exciting. His enthusiasm made me love numbers, so much so that I took an MBA in Finance at the Wharton Graduate School! He will be missed,

Mr. Canamucio started me off at Nether Providence HS in wonderful fashion on my way to a career as a mathematics teacher for 42 years. I appreciated his enthusiasm, knowledge, and inspiration. I am very sorry for your loss.
