Robert T. Lombardi

We miss you more than ever, Bob. We could certainly use your political wisdom in this election year! You have left an indelible mark on the lives of all who were fortunate enough to come into your orbit and we will hold your memory in our hearts & souls.

We continue to miss Bob's wit & wisdom every month at our Panera "meeting"!

Karen- Gary and I were so saddened to hear about Bob. He was a wonderful guy who obviously loved his family very much and will be missed deeply. We are thinking about you and your boys.

Dear Lombardi family,
I was saddened to learn of the passing of a respected colleague and friend. It was my privilege to work with Bob for sixteen years at Newington High until my retiring in 1996. A gifted and dedicated teacher, his first priority was always the success of his students and he worked tirelessly to achieve this. I remember his ready smile, his sense of humor, his compassion, but most of all, his integrity. He was truly a "man for all seasons." May he find eternal rest for...

My thoughts are with your family. Mr. Lombardi left a lasting impression on me in my AP U.S. history class. I so enjoyed his class, but also how he cared so deeply for his students on a personal level. He always had a smile on his face and took the time to ask how life was.
Although I did not become a history teacher, it was initially my path in college before settling on a different career, mainly due to Mr. Lombardi. My deepest condolences.

Mr. Lombardi,

There is no question you were the teacher who most impacted my life in a positive way. When I had you as a 9th grader, your ease with us and willingness to give us a glimpse into your personal life made you human. But what I remember more is your humor, your love of life, and your love of teaching a subject that meant everything to you.

But when I decided to be an educator, my goal was to have the same relaxed, open classroom that made me choose to have you...

To say that Mr. Lombardi left an indelible mark on my life, through his teaching and guidance during my high school career, would not do justice to the extraordinary way in which he helped me, and so many others who were fortunate enough to interact with him, formulate ideas and opinions, and challenge those of others in a respectful and thoughtful way.

My deepest condolences to his wife and sons, whom he spoke of in classes often, with beaming adoration and fondness.

Thank...

Karen, we are so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. Our thoughts are with you and your sons.

It is far too often that as life comes to a close people are all too saddened at the loss of someone close. Instead we should take this time to celebrate the absolutely amazing man that Mr. Lombardi was. I only got to know him through the classroom, but after seeing what everyone has taken a moment to share, scrolling through the jovial photos of hikes, drinks, and skiing, I've come to realize just how much of a renaissance man he truly was. He is a legend among legends, a man among men, a...
