Nic Bonotto

I still cannot believe that he passed . I will always remember him Mr. Bonotto, such an amazing and patient teacher! He loved teaching us and had such a wonderful soul for teaching ceramics, I still have all my pieces that I made in his class. I will forever remember him!

Mr Bonotto always inspired me to achieve more and greater each and every day I stepped inside of his classroom. I never felt a sense of comfort as well as support in the classroom setting as much as I had until I joined his ceramics class in 2018. I recall having this sensational yearning to learn how to sculpt, spin new pottery on the wheel or to refine on all the skills I have learned. I´ll never forget always being the last student out , rushing to finish my latest project and saying my goodbyes at the end of t day. Mr Bonotto, I dedicate my future projects and my passions to ceramics to you. You´ve inspired me so much to embrace my creativity and believe in my own sense of direction .

Mr. Bonotto was my favorite high school teacher. He made government and economics engaging. It was my least favorite subject, beat only by algebra, but that´s the only class I remember fully and enjoyed the most.

I have told countless friends and family about our Bonotto Bucks and I think I actually found one a couple months ago randomly. I am so sad to hear of his passing. It appears he became even cooler after I graduated. Learning about his personal story was the coolest thing for me.

What an inspiration and legacy he left. My heart goes out to his wife and kids. Rest in peace Mr. Bonotto. You´re one cool energy orb floating around somewhere out there, hopefully still traveling and sticking with the family.

It is so unfortunate to lose Nic as a former high school classmate to ALS. I hope all the positive actions Nic brought to this world continue on with his family and friends. I will miss him and my condolences go to his family, students, and friends that knew Nic well.

Suzanne, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You are loved and being held close! LEt us know how we can help!

I didn´t know Nic but I know what a terrible disease ALS is. It´s apparent from reading this that Nic enjoyed life to its fullest. I can´t imagine the great loss to his family, friends and students. May beautiful memories warm your hearts...

Hello, I never had him as a teacher however he was my best friends teacher and he let me come and sit with her in class and made great memories!
My father also passed from ALS March 2022, this is a unfair disease but everyday I´m thankful my father and Mr.Bonotto passed staying the fun and amazing people they always been! I´m so sorry for your loss.

To say that Mr. Bonotto was a great would be an understatement. He was always such a patient, caring, and passionate teacher. He made sure that art was fun and expressive. The world definitely needs more teachers like Mr. Bonotto. My deepest condolences to his family, wife, and kids. May he rest in peace & continue his love for art from Heaven above.
Mr. B, we´ll miss you. Thank you for the encouraging words and for caring for your students.

Hey Mr.Bonotto,
Thank you for being so kind and enthusiastic. You where always kind and understanding to me when I was your student in high school. I will never forget your sincere compassion and enthusiasm. Rest in paradise, Mr. Bonotto.

I remember he was the sweetest teacher and he inspired and encouraged me to continue doing art and now I am an art teacher for kids. May he rest in peace.

Dear Susie, Mason,Evie and Ellie, So sorry for your very sad loss of Nic. Very beautifully written obituary. Jim and Paula Guidotti
