Mr Ardizzone was such a lovely man, just happened to find this- he gave us all, whether we could sing or not, a love of music and said "singing is in the heart of the person, not the ears of anyone else!" He was a loving, kind and caring teacher who could make us laugh. I've always had moments thinking of him when I hear certain songs- it was 1976 and he made us sing "Feelings"... I have nothing but good memories about this fine gentleman. My greatest condolences to his family.

My condolences to Mr. ardizonne's friends and family. I will always remember him not only as a great teacher but as a great person with a genuine personality and a contagious prescence. I grew up remembering his lessons not only in Algebra but his lessons in how to treat people and i carry that till this day. I'm very saddened by this, my prayers go out to his family in their time of grief.

One of Arlington's best. I loved working with him and miss him. Fortunately I still have the "Susie" stuffed dog (in my classroom) and my Michelle hat that he gave me!!!! And of course all of my memories!!!! Rest in peace.

Mr.Ardizzone was an amazing teacher,he took it upon himself to make sure we understood what we were learning. He as well as my other teachers saw a little girl suffering watching her mother die from cancer, and went above and beyond what they had to! I love you mr. Ardizzone rest in peace

My sincere condolences to the entire family! I worked along side Vinnie at the Arlington School years ago! He was a true gentleman, a kind teacher, and had a contagious way of making us all smile.... even on the most difficult days! We lost him to the high school which I think was his true love of teaching. May he rest in Peace! ❤️🌹❤️

Ardizzone Family: I am sorry for your loss. Always a gentleman, Vinnie's room was the one I transferred into when I was assigned 7th grade at the Kane in 1986. He had decorated the walls with his own paintings. It made a bleak-looking room, a happy one. I had the pleasure of working with him for several years after that. He is fondly remembered.

I had the pleasure of teaching with Vinnie at the Kane in the 1970's and 80's. He was a wonderful teacher and an even better person. My sympathies to his family whom he always talked about with great love and adoration. He was quite a guy.

To the family of Mr. Ardizzone:
My sincere condolences to you all. I knew your husband and father as my eighth grade teacher while he taught at the Kane School. I forever remember him as being the biggest inspiration in my life. He taught us that dreams are never too late to achieve and never far out of reach. I can still remember his goofy disney ties and terrible jokes. Over the years i have kept him in my mind and in my heart and i am greatly saddened for your loss. To me Mr. Ardizzone was the worlds greatest teacher.

Vinnie and I became friends when we worked together at the Kane Jr. High School many years ago. He knew I owned a Karate School in North Andover and he asked me to teach his children Jason and Lisa Karate for the discipline and obviously to protect themselves. The best feeling in the world is a parent knowing his children have grown up to be wonderful adults so I'm sure Vinnie was at peace in passing knowing his family became the adults he always wished for.

Dear Beth, Jay and Lisa...

Vinnie will always be remembered and loved. His vibrant smile, kindness and gentleness were so very special. I feel honored to have known him.

The students who had him as a teacher were lucky, and you were all blessed to be his family. I know you'll treasure the memories of your time together, and his grandchildren have those, too.

I send my deepest sympathy to all of you and wish you strength in the weeks and months ahead. I think of Vinnie now with a smile and know he's at peace.

Love to you all,

Trish

Condolences for the Ardizzone family and know that Vinnie was a treasure to work for during his tenure at the Kane School whom I substituted for. It was him who gave me the confidence of playing and the patience for teaching music. RIP my friend.
