Napoleon Lucchini

Hands down Nap was the best teacher I ever had. He was easy to please if you wanted to do your accounting and gave it your best. If you needed help, he'd do anything to accommodate you. He was tireless, filling 3 chalkboards full of information EVERY DAY for EVERY CLASS. He gave it all to his students, all the while cheering them on. He was a straight forward, honest man with lots of integrity, and he got all my respect. He never forgot me and we remained friends since 2001 when I took...

My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Nap was a great leader and I enjoyed starting my accounting education with him. He was very encouraging. May he rest in Peace.

I will miss Nap as well. He was one of my favorite accounting instructors, period. He was a great supporter of all his students and I enjoyed him as an instructor as well as a colleague.

I'm going to miss this legend of Accounting. I have known Mr. Lucchini for a long time. I acknowledge him as my mentor and the reason my career has gone as far as it has. He taught me the foundation of principles that has kept me moving forward.
I will treasure the memories of his last few days of his life, retaking an accounting class Spring quarter 2014. I'm glad I had the chance to be in his class one more time.
My thoughts are with his family at this time. Take comfort in the...

So surprised and sad to see this.

I still see Mr. Lucchini as I knew him decades ago in accounting class (1978). I loved that he knew his subject SO well, and that he consistently made an otherwise dry subject very palatable. I didn't know Nap outside of the classroom, but he had a way about him that was solid and true and inspiring. I learned a lot more from him than accounting. ([email protected])

He was a great professor and he will be greatly missed.
