Rest peacefuly in heaven Mr. Mastrianni. Although I only knew you for a short while as my 7th grade math teacher, you were my favorite teacher. And still are to this day. I still remember when I got the whole 7th grade to sing 'you are my sunshine' for you while you were in the hospital and the poster I made for you! You put up a good fight, now rest peacefully in heaven. You are greatly missed.

7th grade math. First period of the day, and my class got easily side tracked. One morning, we ended up all standing and singing 'You Are My Sunshine.' He was one of two best teachers I've ever had and I will never forget him.
