Sending heartfelt sincere condolences to the DeStefano family during this difficult time. Mr. DeStefano to me will always be someone who stands out in my memory having been my 6th grade Science Teacher at Westbrook School, he was able to instill in me an interest in a subject I had no interest in. Later, his path crossed mine again while Teaching and Coaching Baseball skills through the Mt. Prospect Park District and I can still recall going to a Cubs game. There's no doubt he had an impact on those lives he touched through his Teaching years, and I recall his impact on my own.
I hope his loving memory brings peace to the Family
May his memory be eternal
With Love,
Mandy
