First off, I was shocked to find out today where I work where Mrs.DiFilippo works as well sometimes. I remember her and Mrs. Cannavale from 101. They told me he passed away and I wanted to cry. I knew him since II was a student at 101 since I was 6 in Kindergarten and 1st grade. I remember he used to put me with Mrs. Federico and dancing class in the auditorium( 2nd grade teacher) when I used to cry for my mother in the morning. I would literally cry because I missed her because my mother was a teacher at Abraham Lincoln HS. He was so nice and heartfelt. . He was down to earth. I remember he worked at Cavallaro / IS 281 after PS 101. Then I lost touch and saw him briefly when I was in Midwood Hs. A few years later, I briefly texted him to say hello and how he was? I think it was after his father passed away to give my condolences. I think it was 2 years ago etc. I will miss his optimism, his smile where he can light up a room. He was also engaging. I miss his being down to earth and I pray him and his father will watch over his mother Theresa. I'll pray for you Mike.
