Mr. DiMartino was one of the best teachers I ever had. He challenged you and cared about you as a person. Having retired as a physician, after 48 1/2 years, I have tried to seek out those who gave to me so that I might give to others. In my belated searches for those giants upon his shoulders I stood, I only hope that this testament brings a smile to his family, just as I remember his smile still to this day.

I took general biology and Advanced Placement Biology from Dr. DiMartino.at West Hempstead High School. He was a great and dedicated teacher. I remember him caring about the progress of his students and his enthusiasm for biology. He was a factor that made me decide to be a biology major in college (and then go on for graduate work and teaching and research at the university level). I'm glad he had such a long a full life (skiing at 84!). Condolences to his family. Janet Lanza WHHS 1965

Mr. DiMartino was one of the most inspiring teachers in my life. Even though I became a concertizing cellist and professor, he had inspired me to considering going into medicine. I loved all the experiments that we did and have a deep respect for natural science because of him. My sincere condolences to all his family. Susan Moses WHHS '65
