Mr Twiss was my 5th grade science teacher at center school in Trumbull in the 6os. He was the absolute best science teacher I ever had. I loved going to his class. Always fun and always so interesting. Rest in peace Mr Twiss and Thank you for wonderful memories. Jeff Fiore, Texas

Cindy, I did not know that Harry had passed. I only knew him for the most part through you. I met him several times and you and he were at my daughter´s wedding. I know you loved him very much and all will miss his kind spirit.
I know I am late, but I hope you forgive my tardiness.
`May the wind under his wings take him to where the sun sails and the moonwalks´

Mr Twiss had to have been my favorite and most influential teacher in my 12 years in Trumbull schools. He made science very interesting with all of his projects. And he lifted me up when I needed. I wish I knew before now of his passing.

Mr. Twiss was my favorite teacher ever. In 1966 as a 5th grader, he made me (and probably most of his students) feel respected and that I was a person who could be trusted to do the right thing. I have thought of him over the years but did not know he died until today. The world lost a great man.

Cindy....our prayers and sympathies are with you.
I had a great time working for Harry both at Long Hill and Middlebrook Schools.
He was a guy way ahead of his time.

My prayers are with all of you. I was lucky enough to have Mr. Twiss as a most engaging and supportive 5th grade teacher at Center School in 1969. He encouraged my girlfriends and I to make something out of our crazy ideas and expected us to succeed. I will always remember him as a top educator with compassion. Peace be with you.

My condolences to the family for the loss of a wonderful man.
Mr. Twiss was the most incredible teacher I ever had. In 4th and 5th grade he had us building carbon microphones, loudspeakers, crystal radios, electric motors and crude phonographs.
He put in extra effort to make science fun, and he was gifted.
I spoke about him at length during Shelton's teacher convocation a couple years ago because he was an exemplary teacher who made a difference in my life.

Mr. Twiss was an administrator when I was in grade school in Trumbull. He was always teaching however. I remember the time that he and I built a working microphone using a medicine bottle cap, some oak tag paper and and old battery. The man was McGuyver. RIP.
