In Memory of Joe Loscaro

A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.

--Henry Adams

 

 

 

 

Teachers were such an important part of our high school life. On the Facebook alumni site there was much discussion about Joe Loscaro. It was sad to note that he had passed at the young age of 58.

 

Some of the comments:

 

• Joe was my son's godfather... he is missed!
• What a guy...
• Yep.....Mr. A.V. Man himself!
• Joe Loscaro, He taught me to think what is now called outside the box. I sure learned lots of things from him. There were sure alot of what could only be called as eye opening experiences in his classes.
• For those of us that went to Columbus school we had him as a teacher fresh outta college then he went to the Edison teaching job loved this man he was so cool!
• I love this guy good teacher.
• I remember him getting me out of class the day after the original Star Wars opened. He had a bootlegged copy of it and we watched it in his office. Memories.
• Joe gave me his swatting paddle at the end of my Freshman Year. He wanted to give it to me on Awards day But The Principal would not allow it.
• He was the best, I had his wife for head start also.
• A lot of us that went to Columbus had him him elementary before he went to the high school, so we knew him, his wife, and his mom were neat people to know. He was awesome.

  His Mom one Christmas made each of us in his class a snowman outta apples and marshmallows.  It was neat. I kept mine in the freezer forever . It was too pretty to eat!
• He did love Star Wars! We had a fall dance and that was the theme! He sponsored us and Nancy even came! Loved him
• I had him and so did my kids loved him .
• Hey Joe! One of my favorite teachers! Passed too young.
