I was saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Marino. I had the privilege of playing on his first two Westhill teams as well as having him for a teacher. Coach was a fine leader who always preached class and sportsmanship as well as the will to win. He was also a great player in his own right. I know he had a positive influence on me. To any hockey player or fan who reads this, if there was a Lady Byng trophy given out for a life, Dr. Carl Marino's name would be engraved on it.

I had Dr. Marino for American History and Russian History at Stamford High from 1968-1970. He inspired me to go beyond names and dates and analyze the people and their ideas. Senior year I did an independent study in Russian History with Dr. Marino as my adviser. When I read the paper today, all 180 pages of it, I am proud of how it turned out. I went on to major in Russian History in college, no surprise. Dr. Marino was an outstanding teacher, an outstanding person and someone who has left a lasting impression on me. To his family--my deepest sympathy.

Dr. Marino was the first Westhill High School Varsity Hockey Coach in 1973 and I had the distinct privledge of playing for him in all 4 of these first years. He taught me many valuable lessons on how to be a gentleman AND a fierce competitor that have served me well in my adult years. I am hopeful that the memory of the many lives he touched throughout his years of service to the Stamford student community will be a source of joy for his entire family in this time of great loss. I, for one, was profoundly impacted by Dr. Carl Marino.

Dr. Marino was an outstanding teacher and a fine man. I was fortunate to study both American and Russian History with him at Stamford High in 1965-67. He was one of those very special teachers who makes a lasting impact on his students. I send my deepest condolences to his family. He lives on in the memory of those he touched. I am honored to be one of those he touched.

Carl was, at one and the same time, a mentor to me as a young teacher in the early "70's, a colleague, and a friend. His love of history and breadth of knowledge was vast and his ability to transmit it to his students and colleagues was remarkable.
He made the world a better place and impacted, for the better, all those who studied with him.
I shall miss him.
Deepest sympathies to his family.

Peace,

I was fortunate enough to have Dr. (Mr. at the time) Marino for both American and Russian History at Stamford High School. He was without a doubt the finest teacher I had in high school and equaled many that I had in college. In addition, he was a fine, generous and caring individual. I am thankful to him for helping me achieve whatever success I have in life. RIP, and thanks.

A true gentleman, a wonderful teacher and great hockey coach. My Dad and I use to watch him play for the Home Oilers on Saturday nights and we marveled at his skill and determination on the ice. As great a hockey player as he was, he was an even better teacher. His ability to motivate and inspire us to expend our horizons is something I am grateful for. My sympathy to his family and friend. When I put my gear on tomorrow night for my hockey game I'm going to score one for Coach Marino.

Dr Marino ( he will always be that to me and my Stamford High friends) was the man who turned me into an American history major. He not only taught the facts, he taught students how to think about history, taught us that it was open to interpretation and that the people who made it happen were human beings with human strengths and weaknesses that played a role in the objectives they sought and the decisions they made. I have been friends with a number of eminent historians over the years and I owe the fact that I could do that to him.

My friends and I used to go watch him play hockey with the Home Oilers in Bridgeport. Of course, we brought our favorite player hot chocolate between periods.

Carl Marino was by far the most influential teacher I ever had and a wonderful man. I am only sorry that I never said all of this to him. I hope he somehow knew.

To Carl's family, I sold him the house in Monroe and once in a while we would have a cup of coffee together with some great conversation. My deepest sympathy to you on his passing.

I was a student of Dr. Marino at Stamford High in the very early '70s. He, along with a group of "professors" teaching history, political science and social science have never been out- matched during any of my college years. I owe my interest and dedication to historical truth to Dr. Carl Marino. It's been 40 years, and I have not forgotten him. I thank my friend Jeff Atwood for letting me know that Dr. Marino has passed. My heart felt condolences to family and friends. Maude Loevenbruck Morse.
