Thomas J. Valentinetti

Humble Servant of The Lord

A special place at Heaven's gate,
God made the calling, set the date,
To welcome Tom into His home,
To have a place before His throne!

Teacher, father, humble man,
Friend and neighbor, all God's plan,

I would like to extended my deepest sympathy to Mr. Valentinetti's family.

My family moved next door to the Valentinetti's in 1960. Mr. Valentinetti was also busy around the yard. I also had the pleasure of having him as my teacher in Civis, always wanting to hear what we had to say (class of 1972);one of Oxford's best teachers without a doubt.

If you heard a car coming down Forest Street and you turned around and saw the license plate "6", you know who it was.

I remember Mr. Valentinetti as always smiling. My condolences to Jane and family.

I am from the class of 1960. Mr.Valentinetti,s passing is sad, but our memories of him are the best. He was a wonderful teacher, a good man, and a good friend to most of his students.

Mr Valentinetti was a person to be admired. One of the best teachers Oxford has ever had.Respect he gained, compassion he had. He was my teacher when he finally became a father... So proud, so happy...A person that I always admired and enjoyed speaking to in his later years, as he walked by my house on his daily trips to the center of town.

I HAD MR. VALENTINETTI AS A TEACHER CLASS OF 1966. I WILL NEVER FORGET HIS BIG, WONDERFUL, WARM SMILE THAT JUST BEAMED. MY SYMPATHY TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

Sorry to hear of your loss. I had Mr. V as a teacher and really enjoyed his classes. He could really keep our attention. He was quite a character.

Mr Valentinetti was a great teacher and a great man. I haven't seen him since I graduated in 1981 but remember him warmly. I want to give my condolences to Jane and her family.

I had Mr Valentinetti in school as a teacher. I enjoyed his classes very much. He was a wonderful teacher and a very nice man. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family
