Manuel H. PREOLO

Dear Preolo Family,

I learned of Manny's passing just last night and am deeply saddened. I had been thinking about him a lot lately too and had been sharing stories with my husband about my years running track with Manny as my coach.

Words cannot describe what Manny (Coach Preolo) meant to me. He was my coach, my mentor, my friend...I performed to levels on the track that were really beyond my natural abilities because of what he instilled in me -- confidence and the...

Manny taught me science and baseball. He was the best coach I ever played under; I'm extemely saddened to learn of his passing.

To the Preolo.....

My deepest sympathies go out to all of you...Mr. Preolo was such a wonderful person...He cared a great deal for his students & all those around him....May you Rest in Peace...You have left your mark in so many of our lives at CPHS, & all those that you have touched among the alumni of students & collegues, you will never be forgotten...God Bless You & Your Family

Mr. Preolo was a good man and may he RIP. I had him as guidance couselor and he helped me in getting into the field that I really liked and am still in that field today. I remember him doing the impossible for me and getting me switched out of Ms Zingler's class, which she swore no one could ever do, but he did! Again my condolences to his family.

Hi Mr. Preolo,
When I came back two years ago to CP where I had left for college in 1970 it was you that remembered me at the Hall of Fame dinner.
You were one of the best teachers that I had in school. You taught me great love of science in a time when girls did not take those courses. You encouraged me and told me to keep studying...and I did. You were funny, fair, knew when to be tough, gave kids that needed it a break and inspired girls like me with high ambitions to go far....
