Accetturo Family,
I had the privilege of having your father as one of my teachers at Bogan High School. He was well-respected by all who knew him. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Dan. I taught with him at Bogan H.S, for many years. He was a great mentor to me as well as a great artist. He was loved and respected by all of the staff as well as his students. He was very proud of his family, and talked about them often. I have only fond memories of Dan and I will certainly miss his beautiful Christmas cards. May God bless his soul. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time,

My prayers go out to your family in your time of need. I had Mr. Accetturo as a Homeroom teacher and for 2 years as an Art teacher. He was a great teacher. I always loved when he signed a yearbook he would draw a little man holding a flower.
