William R. Papallo

Periodically, some of us are fortunate to have fond memories of those few, extraordinary people who have made our lives better and, in turn the same for those as part of their timeless legacy. Bill was one of those for me as one of the 3 of 70 teachers during my extensive education who inspired and helped shape my own efforts to better the lives of others, just as he did. I am grateful that I had a chance to share this with him in person a few years before he passed during my own professional travels when we met once again. Thank you again to Bill and his family for the priceless gifts of life he gave to so many. Gratefully, Dr. Michael O'Connor

Great teacher, great coach and great man! Maloney 65!

Stay Strong ms papallo and im sorry for the loss of your dad

My deepest condolences to the Papallo family. And to Ms. Papallo, I know what you're all going through right now is very hard. I hope you know that he's looking down on you, smiling. If there's one thing I've learned it's that death may take away a person's life, but it will never take away the love that person left behind. His love will remain in your hearts forever. He is in a safe, loving place.

My deepest sympathy for the Papallo family. They have lost a great man....

Our deepest sympathy during this time.
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I grew up knowing Mr. Pap from a young age when he refereed our basketball games at St Rose School.
He was my coach and mentor at Maloney when I needed a swift kick in the butt.
Along with history, he taught me in the game of life.Thank you Mr. Pap.
You will be in my prayers.
I extend my deep sympathy to his family.
May he rest in peace.

My heartfelt condolences on your great loss. Mr. Papallo was teaching at Maloney and I had my first, and only, teenage crush on him. He was such a good teacher and he must have profoundly affected many students along the way. Sincerely, Joyce Faust Mesa, Arizona

Thank you Bill. You were my favorite teacher at Maloney. You taught me how to think.

I grew up with Bill Papallo in the Brookside Park area of Meriden. I will always remember those pickup baseball games after supper every night. When we knocked the cover off the ball Bill was the one that would tape the ball up so we could resume the game.
Bill Papallo was a gentleman, friend, and just a great guy. He was one of the best athletes to come out of Meriden,selected as a "Sportsman of Distinction" by the Meriden Sports Reunion Committee in 1991.
Dr. William Papallo was an Icon in Meriden, may his soul rest in God`s eternal peace! He will be missed!
Sincerely,
