Francis R. "Frank" Cangiano

Mr. Frank Cangiano ranked among the very best of teachers in the Medford Public School System. He was my IPS II science teacher during my freshman year (1973) in Room B305. Mr. Cangiano always fondly called me James Aloysius. I remember him so well in his short white science lab coat with overhead projector markers always in his left, top coat pocket. In his office you would often see his great friends and colleagues, John Fitzgerald and Dave Franceschi. Mr. C was the most kind and compassionate teacher I ever had at MHS and I learned so much more than science from him. He was an outstanding role model for me (as I became a science teacher) and I have always been grateful he was a part of my life that will always be with me. May he rest in peace. He will be missed, but never forgotten. Thank you Mr. Cangiano for all of your hard work and dedication to the thousands of Medford students that learned from you. Jim Gogolos

Chickie was such a kind man with a great sense of humor and endearing love for his family. From my first time at IPS class at the Hobbs to eventually becoming my uncle he was so genuine.

May you rest in peace . You were a great teacher and friend of the family. I always had fun learning in his classroom.
