Michael Thomas Ganci

Mike came to Torrington in the mid 80s to develop a computer program for the district. I had the good fortune to be a member of the first cadre of computer consultants to work with him. Everyone was new to computers in those days, and Mike led the team with his calm demeanor and supportive words. We used to joke That he was the master of the temple, and I was the grasshopper working to learn all I could in order to be ready to leave the temple. Those were great days of expanding our...

Mr Ganci was my Karate teacher. He made a impression that has stayed with me my whole life. My thoughts and prayers are with the Ganci family at this time. My condolences.

To Marianna and Family,
Mr. Ganci was my 5th grade teacher at Ann Antolini in the late 70's. He was kind and gained the respect of his students without having to say anything at all. One of my fondest memories was the day we could have our parent visit the classroom. My mother and I were working on a project together and our drawings were awful. We started uncontrollably giggling. Mr. Ganci made the rounds, took one look at our work, gave a side smile and without a word kept on walking....

Was grieved to hear about the passing of Mr. Ganci, who I remember from Antolini School back in the days when Mr. Lovley was principal, and Barker, Greco, Mazen, Neshko, and Sonstroem were the teachers. Even though I wasn't in his class, remember him from recess and the school assemblies as in control, quietly assertive, earning the kids' respect, while allowing them to speak their mind. My thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Ganci's family at this time.

I am so sorry to hear this sad news. Mr. Ganci was my fourth grade teacher at Ann Antolini School in New Hartford. One of the reasons I became interested in science was that he made it fun. He was a wonderful teacher.

To Marianna, Joanna, Michael, Nina ,Laura and all of Michael's family and friends.

I was so surprised to read of Michael's passing when I saw it on the front page of the Hartford Courant! While I did not know Michael I was so touched by the story. I called my dad Vincent Louis Ganci now age 90 and also shared with my mom, Jean age 88 who live in Southbury,Ct.

Here is what I learned, Michael's father Anthony Tony Ganci's dad Joseph Ganci was cousins with Vincent Ganci, my dad's...

He was my math teacher in 1970 and I have always remembered him for his kindness and patients. My heart is with you all.

My heart goes out to my aunt and to my cousins. Uncle Mike was one of greatest men I have ever known. I will always cherish the day he and Poppy taught me how to shoot pool.
