John L Celani

My condolences to the family of John L. Celani. He was an outstanding educator, friend and colleague in the Willingboro School District. May he rest in well-deserved peace.

John will be missed greatly! I know him from West Jersey Rotary and he always made me laugh, he had a gorgeous voice leading us all at every meeting with God Bless America at the start of our meeting. His wife, Marguerite is a wonderful lady and I am so sorry for her loss - I send my deepest condolences to the entire family!
John, rest in peace - you will be sorely missed

Truly one of the best teachers I ever had. Beyond that, he was a great person. I knew him as a teacher, neighbor and babysitter of his son. Mr Celani´s kindness. Wisdom, and guidance made a true difference in my life. Hopefully I have been paying it forward.

Mr. Celani was, in fact, one of the nicest teachers at JFK. He made class enjoyable and understandable! Rest in Peace, Mr. Celani. Job well done!

I was deeply touched by the passing of Mr Celani. My heart goes out to Mrs Celani as well as their entire family. Grieving is different for everyone. Sometimes it feels as if the pain will never end. Please know that I will be praying for you all during this difficult time. God bless you.

Mr. Celani was our neighbor on Hillcrest Lane in Willingboro. And, he was my most wonderful geometry teacher at JFK HS. I babysat for his son John when he was very small until a neighbor reported my boyfriend had visited! (He told my folks and then my friend, also a Susan on Hillcrest, became their sitter.) Just yesterday, I was recalling to my husband how he´d been on Price Is Right and how impressed I was that he´d won a hutch or even the whole dining set. May his family find peace in memories and his life so well lived .

The best teacher I had in high school ,

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of God, family and friends. Please find comfort in the words found at Isaiah 61:1,2.
