Sending my condolences to Rich´s family. He was in Vernon when I was there. He was such a good person. I appreciate the opportunity he gave me to learn from him and grow as an administrator. God bless you all. Patti Buell

Dear Carol and Tracy,
With my deepest sympathy, I was so sorry to hear about your loss. Rich was an outstanding educator, a great boss and a good and decent man. It was a pleasure, as the McGee principal, to be a member of his leadership team. He led with vision, integrity and passion, which made him an exceptional leader and worthy of the highest praise from the entire Berlin community.

I was Rich's mail carrier for many years. He was always friendly and respectful. A prince of a man. He will be missed.

At this point in life, it seems odd to continue to refer to him as "Mr. Paskiewicz" since I was a student of his in the late 60´s.
He was one of the teachers who inspired me to pursue my own career in education - in
particular middle school - though we called it Jr. High back in the day. He understood "student engagement" before that was a term. He established relationships with students before any theorist said that was a good thing too. In fact -
he imported a friend and me
to act as altar boys at his wedding.
To his family: may you find comfort in knowing the tremendous impact he had on generations of students.
"Well done good and faithful servant."

So sorry to hear of cousin Richard's passing. We grew up as family and neighbors on Tower Ave. in Kensington. Richard will be remembered as a wonderful man and educator. God bless and comfort Carol and Tracy.

Mr. Paskiewicz was my 7 th and 8 th grade science teacher. He made his classes fun and a competition between students. Long after my High School graduation I dealt with him as Asst Superintendent of Schools, here in Rocky Hill. I, of course, called him Mr. Paskiewicz, even though I was decades older and working in a professional capacity for the Town of Rocky Hill.
He and I had a good chuckle about that.
I am glad he taught in Rocky Hill. He was liked and respected by many.
My condolences to his family and friends

Carol and Tracy, Rich did so much for Berlin and the youth in Town. He loved everything about Berlin and was so happy to be a part of the community. I am so lucky to have had the chance to work with him. We had a great relationship which doesn't always happen with Superintendents and Town Managers!
Tracy, he loved you so much and was extremely proud that you were following in his educational footsteps. Carol, I know this will be very hard on you, as you were very very close. He was with both of you in spirit, especially when you are at the Cape. Thanks for always being there Rich! Bonnie Therrien
