Harry Simonian

Message from Capt. Jeffery Brown

Mr. Simonian always had an encouraging word for a lost teen. Tough enough, but understanding and kind. We've always thought fondly of you, Harry. Thank you for your guidance. A life well-lived and a terrific example to leave as a legacy. Via con Dios. Rest now, and Peace.

Message from Sheila Newman

I was a teller at UniBank for 7 years, and I always enjoyed seeing Harry. He was a gentleman, and ready with a laugh. I am sorry for your loss.

Message from Don and Jeannie Katz

We are saddened by Harry's passing. Harry was a wonderful Superintendent to work under; a great combination of competent leader and friend. I clearly remember him as a teacher and Vice Principal when I attended NHS. And, Don met him as Superintendent when he was hired to teach Math, which Harry certainly had personal experience with! In addition to obviously loving his professional life, Harry's love for Carol and his beautiful family was first and foremost. Harry gave them so much to be proud of, and he was so proud of all if you. May you find comfort in your loving memories.

Harry was my mathematics teacher at NHS from 1959 to 1961 for Algebra II, Trigonometry, and Advanced Mathematics. He was very organized, logical. and most definitive in his teaching techniques and held students to a very high standard of academic excellence. He was one of the factors that motivated me to pursue mathematics teaching as a profession and promote his philosophy of academic excellence. May God grant peace to his soul and bring comfort to his family.

Message from Gail and Nick DiMarco

Message from Doug Merriman

My Uncle Harry was one of the most caring and fun loving people I've ever known. He could pretend to be serious about something, and then make a stoical joke about the same topic that would get the place laughing. And he always cared about the person he was directly talking to, as if that person was the only person in the world at that time. I am sure that he is in heaven.

Message from Mary Contino

I am so sorry to hear about Harry. I remember him as a senior in high school when he taught Calculus and Trig and then 4 years later he hired me right out of college to teach 9th grade Math and English. I just realized I've know him over 50 years. I spent my entire 35 years teaching in Northbridge because of Harry. He influenced so many lives in so many ways. He will be missed. I will keep him and the entire family in my prayers. Mary Contino

Message from Jeanne LeBlanc

I am very sad as I write this note. Harry hired me for my first an only teaching job
the Summer after I graduated from college. I did not even know where Whitinsville was...but I found it and within a week he offer me a job! For that I will always be eternally grateful. As union president, Harry and I interacted many times. He was always willing to listen and have a open mind. He was always a gentleman.
My sincere condolences to his family.

Message from Ron Stead

I am sorry for your loss.
As a new teacher and principal Harry was a very good mentor. He was supportive and encouraging at all times. His influence was with me for forty years.

I was saddened to hear of Harry's passing. He attended my Dad's (Moses) wake a little over a year ago. He and Carol double-dated with my parents, (Mother-Akabi), before they all got married. Harry had been a friend of the family for decades. Even though we are separated by miles, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
