To the Family of Richard Milano,
Mr. Milano was my eighth-grade math teacher at Emmett Belknap Jr. HIgh in Lockport. He inspired me to study hard, show respect, and never get caught daydreaming. Math was not my favorite subject, so I often drifted off to another planet when he taught math through football diagrams with math lessons on the chalkboard. I always ensured I was a chapter ahead knowledge-wise in case he caught me dazing off. I'll never forget the day he called on me to answer a math problem when I was doing that. Thank goodness I knew the answer. His response was. "you know what you're doing, go back to sleep." P.S.: My parents were excited when I came home with an A that year—my condolences on your loss.
