Michael and Arcari Family, I am so sorry to learn of the passing of your Dad, Lee. Lee was married to my Cousin, Anne, your Mom.. My family visited your home several times, when you were a young boy. I loved your Mom and Dad and the three girls, Antoinette, Francis and Anne, your Mom, who were my favorites, . My Dad, John Elardo was your Grandpa Joe's brother and Anne's uncle. Your dad, Lee, actually taught me Boody Jr. High in Brooklyn. So very sorry for your loss. Cousin Carol Anne (Elardo) Aceto.

A group of old Springfield Gardens H.S. buddies and I were just talking (on Facebook) about our favorite teachers, and Mr. Arcari's name came up. What a kind, gentle soul he was. He knew just what to do to bring out the best in his students. I still have a copy of an etching he did of a line from Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken," and I treasure it.

I’m so sorry to hear the news of Mr. Acari’s passing.
My sincere condolences to his family. He was my English teacher at Newtown high school and school newspaper advisor. I loved his sense of humor. You will be missed Mr. Arcari, Rest In Peace knowing you made a difference in the students you taught

Libero Arcari taught me English for one semester at Springfield Gardens high school, supervised the high school newspaper for two years or so when I was involved and gave me enough encouragement for my work as a journalist and and business news editor to last a lifetime. I remember him reciting poetry to our English class in a caramel voice and enjoying and laughing with his students in the school newspaper office. As an adult decades later at get-togethers organized by Harvey Wang, Lee’s approval still boosted my spirits. It’s hard to imagine how I would have earned my living out of news and words all these years without his early nurturing encouragement.

As one of Mr. Arcari's former high school students, I am saddened at his passing. He influenced so many of us, and he remained a supportive, loving friend long after he was our teacher/newspaper advisor. His absence will be felt by many of us, who loved him.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My Dad was a light to this world. He touched so many with his smile and whit. I thank all of you who have touched his life as well. He was my father and best friend. As time goes the sadness will fade and the remembrances of all the time spent will remain. My love to you all. - Rich
