I was a student in Mr. Latino's electronics class at Somerville High from 1993-1995. He was a friendly guy who was always telling us about new technology and he liked to crack a few jokes every day to keep us in good spirits. I'm just now learning of his passing. Sad to hear it.

I was in Mr. Latino's class at Somerville Trade in the early 80s. He was a good guy. I will never forget him or those great days of long ago for who we were. So very sad to hear of his passing.

Greg and I were friends since 1979. I was so sorry to hear of his passing. He called me often and I knew something was wrong when he did not call me back He was a great traveler and we met on the ferry to Sausolito, California. I know he is taking a great trip every day now. Miss you. Melody

God bless Greg! He was a kind, gentle person and a caring teacher. I was so sad to hear of his untimely passing so early into his retirement. We worked together at the high school for many years.

I was saddened to learn of Greg's passing. He was a dedicated teacher and member of the faculty who always looked for ways to work with other teachers for the good of our students. Greg was a fine man and a true professional. I will remember him in my prayers.

Greg was a kind and friendly man. He was also a faithful fan of Lady Highlander Basketball whose presence was always noticed and appreciated. I am very saddened that he did not get to enjoy his well-earned retirement. God bless you, Greg!

We are saddened by the loss of Greg. He was a fine man and teacher. He will be remembered with fondness for the work he did with my preschool children while in the Electronics department at SHS. He had a wonderful way with the little ones that I suspect is not well known. God be with you, Greg.
