John J. Catalano

I remember Mr Catalano as an extremely fair and patient man. As a student of WCHS, we would often talk about our good fortune of having him as our principle. I'm sure that he was the same in all areas of his life and what a good life it was! Thank you Mr C for being who you were....rest in peace my friend.

Rest in peace mr. Catalano

When either my brother, sister or I stumbled at school my father and John would talk, not in some stuffy office, but in Azusa canyon for a couple of hours of trout fishing. When my father came home issues were resolved and life moved ahead for everyone but the trout.

Mr. Catalano was an amazing administrator and a great man.
He was a Spartan through and through.

He will be missed by friends, family and the extended Spartan Family.

To the CATALANO Family...we send you our deepest condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May John Joseph CATALANO Rest In Peace. From the Linares Family....

I remember Mr. Catalano as being my Drivers Training teacher during the summer during the mid fifties when he was a young teacher at West Covina High School when it was a brand new school campus. He laughingly called me "Miss Leadfoot" but he passed me anyway. I'm so happy he had a lovely marriage and family and I'll remember him fondly. I lit a candle at Mass this evening and said some prayers for him. I hope his family has lots of good memories to keep them smiling,

He was one of our patients at the hearing aid center...truly one of my favorites. My heart is broken. RIP John until we meet again

I'm so very sorry for the loss...he was a wonderful and kind man....prayers and love to the family.

At holiday dinners we would stand while John said a prayer which he always ended with God bless the cooks
