I am a 1963 graduate of Burnham School in Cicero, IL. Mr. Lampros was a great teacher and mentor to a countless number of young boys. I remember him as a patient, caring and dedicated teacher. He was an inspiration to us all.

I have fond memories of Nick. I am a graduate of Burnham, 1961 and he was our softball coach during the days of IDEAL Personnel. I was sorry to hear of his passing.

Dear Elaine and Family,
I was saddened to hear of Nick's passing. Nick and I taught together at Emerson Junior High School. He was a true gentleman in every respect and an outstanding teacher. Although it was many years ago, I always remembered Nick very fondly. May the Lord give you strength at this difficult time and may pleasant memories help ease the pain. I hope you are well. May his memory be eternal.
