He will be sadly missed but remembered as a man who cared about everyone he came in contact with. - M. Waltermire Co-Editor-in-Chief '77' Nick Del Negro will always be remembered as a I knew Nick Del Negro as a colleague and a friend. He was a dedicated professional and a good man who cared about the welfare of the young peo- ple of North Adams. He dedicated his whole life to the people of the community without asking for the fanfare and rewards that he so richly deserved. On a personal level it was through his concern as a teacher and more importantly a friend that I was able to realize some of the important goals in my life. Nick was the type of person who made you work to realize your full potential. He had the unique ability to criticize, but at the same time you realized that the man was working for your best interests. What the community owes this man can never be repayed and I am sure that Nick never expected any return. We all can be thankful that a man of such character shared some precious moments with us during his lifetime. - Roger Cirone friend. He will be remem- bered. - Robert Maroni It was my pleasure to have known Mr. Nicholas Del Negro as a teacher and administrator. His exam- ple as a warm, courageous and sensible human being will always be rememberd. l'm sure that many of the students he came in contact with over the years of dedicated service to the North Adams Public Schools learned a great deal from him. - Robert Loretan -zgugy x NN'-'JQF
