Mr. Lampros was my Industrial Arts teacher at Emerson Jr High in the early 1970´s. I had zero aptitude for the subject, but Mr. Lampros helped me through the course, which I was grateful. A great teacher RIP

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.

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.
