Joseph Eugene Crapanzano Jr.

Oh he was such a great guy, we were so bad sometimes in the 70's and he would at times shake his head. He had the best smile and we all thought he was a doll. I'm so sorry for your loss and my sincere condolences to your all. May God bless you and continue you to give you strength. What a beautiful memory you have.

Kathy so sorry to hear about Joe He was an amazing educator My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

I ran Stratford HS´s Post Prom for 15 years and I loved Mr C´s sense of humor. Every time I´d go into the office he´d greet me with, "Watch out, here comes trouble". He loved the kids and was always available to them. He will be missed but never forgotten. Rest in heavenly peace Mr. C. Sandy Sarmiento and family

Our family sends our condolences to your family. Mr.Crapanzano was such a nice gentleman. I worked with him for a while at Stratford high school and my husband and I got to be friendly with him through school.My three children also send their condolences. He was a special teacher and a great man

I am so lucky to have Maria as my sister in law and I will never forget how kind and welcoming her parents have always been, with Mr. C always having amazing food ready for all! I was always in awe of his ability to "tweak" his recipes to accommodate vegan and gluten free recipes. And I will NEVER forget the BEAUTIFUL antipasto he sent with Dave and Maria one year for our holiday celebration-he did all that for us. always on my mind as a foodie myself I asked Maria recently for her dads...

Mr C was my administrator at SHS. Let´s just say I was not a model student and found myself in his office quite often. The patience and honestly he showed me gained him nothing but my respect. Thank you Mr C. for showing genuine concern not just discipline and guiding me in the right direction when others refused...my sincere deepest condolences to your family. RIP

Had the pleasure of working w/Mr.Crapanzano at StratfordHS, what an incredibly nice man, he was. Sympathy to his loved ones, and all whom were lucky enough to have known him.

We met Mr. C when our daughter went to Stratford High. He took a great interest in her and was wonderful to us. What a really great man. He will be missed by so many.

I have very fond memories of Mr. C as a student at SHS. I never had him as a teacher but even so, he was still such a kind and positive presence in school. He always had a warm smile and you could tell that he loved being a teacher. Sending his family my prayers and condolences during this very sad time.
