John J. Termine

Great teacher and friend.

John and I were friends since 2004 . He was there for me everytime I needed advice. I looked up to him not only as friend but a family. As a new immigrant back then he guided me about life in America. I thank God for his friendship.

I am shocked and saddened to learn just now of Mr. Termine's passing. Not only was he one of my best and most memorable teachers at St. Rose in the late `70s, but became a good friend as well. His love for the Lord and his Catholic faith led to countless conversations with him that undoubtedly influenced my own spiritual development and ultimately my decision to be ordained a priest. He was my Confirmation sponsor and I took John as my Confirmation name in part because of his spiritual influence on me. Thank you John for your faithfulness and unconditional love and support. May our Good God hold you in his loving embrace for all eternity.

I was a student of Mr. Termine several years ago. I´ve always remembered him and how he cared for us students. He had such a wonderful charisma about him that was unique. Last summer, I saw him at the closing mass for St. Rose church, and had the privilege to get this picture with him in his former classroom. Mr. Termine is a legend in education.

I am saddened to hear of the passing of such great teacher one of the best...both my children were students of Mr. Termine ...he was always there for the students ...RIP Mr. Termine you will be missed and you were loved ...

He was one of my favorite, best and certainly most memorable teachers. He had such a great sense of humor and a unique sense of style. May he rest in peace and those who loved him find comfort in their fond memories of time spent with him.

I am so sorry to hear of Mr Termine´s passing. He was my teacher at St Rose School and then in later years became my children´s teacher and a colleague of mine when I worked at St Rose School until it closed. Mr Termine was such a dedicated teacher who shared his knowledge with others. So many good memories that I hold dear. May he Rest in Peace and be reunited with his parents who he missed so much. I will have a Mass said for him at St Augustine Parish.

I was blessed to have Mr. Termine as a teacher at St.Rose School (Class of 1970). He instilled values of patience and of appreciation for the world around us. God hold you in His arms Mr. Termine and thank you for your dedication and faith.

I didn´t know John very well or for very long but when I met him I knew and felt right away that he was a kind and wonderful man who cared deeply for others. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

We are sorry for the passing of Johnny, our condolences to his family,the Zaino family.
