Albert Carl Nocciolo

Rest in Peace Mr. Nocciolo. I did not know you had passed. I went by you old home in Saugus and the neighbor told me. You were a very positive role in my sports life.

I had contact with Mr. Nocciolo because all 3 of my kids went to Saugus schools. He one time looked me up to tell me that my youngest daughter, Sandy, would go far in life but she'd put me through some tough years. How right he was. She now owns a company and is doing VERY well in life and she is happy. Often think of how he went out of his way with kids. What a guy! Sue Walkup (Nygaard, in the past)

Approximately 1981-82 I was working as a teachers aide in Mary Weavers kindergarden class at Skyblue Mesa. One day Mr. Nocciolo came into the classroom to speak to me. He had been listening to children read in a first grade class, and wanted to tell me what a great reader my son Scott was. I can specifically remember him telling me, let him read whatever he wants because if he reads well, he can do anything. I'm sure Mr. Nocciolo would have been proud to know that boy went on to attain a PhD and is a University psychologist.
Mr. Nocciolo you touched so many lives. You will be missed.

My mom just told me today. As a former Saugus union elementary student in the 60's , and seeing him years later at Hart High football games and his famous cigars, he will never be forgotten.

I was a morning, part-time aide at Skyblue Mesa School, when one day I first crossed paths with a gentleman, who said, “Hey Michelson. Call my secretary. I have an afternoon job for you at the District Office.” Mr. Nocciolo had just opened the door for me to do clerical work in the Saugus District Instruction Office, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Along the way, as I moved one position to another, I completed my 34-year career in the Superintendent's Office. I'll be forever grateful for Mr. Nocciolo's encouraging invitation.

Mr. Nocciolo was an energetic, hardworking and truly inspired educator and board member, who used his knowledge, talents and creativity for the betterment of teachers, students, and the Saugus District Community.

Love and blessings to his family,

Incredible man,leader,friend and boss. I will always remember what Al did for me and my family.We truly lost a great man

Mr. Nocciolo was my Principal at Saugus Elementary. I remember we would stand around the flag pole in the morning say the Pledge of Allegiance and sing a patriotic song. I also remember the smell of his cigar. I played softball with Ro and Val back in the day. He loved sports. He was also my children's Principal at Highlands and my mom Mary was a Teacher's Aide at Highlands during that time. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Wonderful man, gave me my first job at Saugus Elementry District. I retired a few years ago after twenty-nine years in education. Thank you Al for giving me the confidence all those years ago. You will be deeply missed. May God bless you and your family at this time.

Mr. Nocciolo was many things to many kids. He taught us all about respect, honor, to have fun in life and to become the best person in life. Each one of us, who had the privilege of knowing him will always carry a piece of him with us in our heart and memories. Saugus Elementary 1964-1966

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Mr. Nocciolo from Highlands Elementary school. He was a great Principal! I remember when I was in 4th grade and broke my wrist at school.While waiting for my Dad to come pick me up, Mr. Nocciolo held me and comforted me...I still remember that kindness...hugs to his family.

It's never easy to say good-bye to a loved one. May you find comfort in knowing how special Mr. Nocciolo was to give so much of himself to the youth of Saugus. I'm sure there are countless students, parents, staff, and teachers that remember him fondly. Rest in Peace Mr. Nocciolo your work here is complete. Godspeed.

Mr. Nocciolo taught us how to be men. Hard nosed, but the man cared about us all. The best! JM

Great man with high standards. He was our principle at Saugus Elementary till Emblem school was built. He was a great mentor to students. I graduated there 1971. Remember him well...my condolences to the Nocciolo family.

Mr. Nocciolo was my principal at Highlands elementary. He was a great man who cared about us students and our education. He often stopped by our classroom motivating us to always do our best. He inspired us and made sure we believed in ourselves. Rest in Peace Mr. Nocciolo and God bless.

So sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. May the "Peace of God"(Phillipians 4:6,7) be yours as you cope with such a loss. Grief can be so hard, but the memories of them help ease the pain.

Mr. Nocciolo was a great principal while I was at Highland ('87grad). He will be missed. I will never forget his sense of humor or his eyebrows!

I went to Saugus Elementary from K to the 3rd grade and Mr Nocciolo was our Principal. He used to visit our classroom often and it was always the high point of my day. He had a way of making everybody feel special. I'll never forget him for that.
