Condolence: Mr. Vecchione was one of those spectacular teachers that a student always remembers. While many teachers have the opportunity to touch a student in their formative years, few stay with you beyond the classroom. He challenged me, and I'm sure I may have challenged him. I not only had the luck of having him for required classes, but his enthusiasm for the topics he taught made me elect to have further classes with him. I only hope that one day my sons have the opportunity to have a caring, enthusiastic and involved teacher like him. my condolences go out to his friends, family and students. he will be remembered with respect and love.

Condolence: My sincere condolences to your family. Mr. Vecchione was an extreme credit to the New Jersey education system, more specifically, to Middletown High School North. He was a teacher who cared, and reached out to every member of the youth community that he had ever met. I was a troubled youth while knowing him. He taught me so much more than any history book could have. He was a teacher, a mentor, and an excellent role model (a true class example). He has been engrained in my memories since 1983. Thank you for sharing him with us! God bless you all!
