Mr. C was one of those special teachers - one who truly changed the trajectory of his students lives. Although he probably never knew it - he was the one who steered me to Engineering School - which aside from marriage - was the single most impactful decision of my life. I still remember the videos of the Ford Explorer he used to show us in class as examples of bad engineering. His students have gone on to truly change the world. He will be missed.

From me and my family, our sincere condolences goes out to the family and friends, who lost a great human being. We are so sorry for your loss. Mr. C. was my technology teacher in high school and he was always kind and treated all people with respect. He was my favorite teacher by far and he inspired me to do great things in education and in life. He focused on things that matter and always inspired you to be your best. I remember him driving me and other students to SUNY Oswego to look at the Technology Education Department. What a great experience. I took several classes with him like electricity. Just a wonderful person. Thank you for sharing him with thousands of students over the years. He will be missed and remembered. God bless you, your family, and friends.

Mr. Cacchillo was a very special man. I have many happy memories of times I spent with him and Mrs. Cacchillo. I´ll always cherish those memories. He was a great caregiver to Mrs. C. I´m glad we remained close for all these years. May he be rejoicing in heaven with Mrs. C. as they reunite and spend eternity with our Lord Jesus Christ.
