Such a shock to find out we lost this man. So young. He definitely played a role in molding so many Rockland Youth. My children are attest to this. I had the pleasure of coaching basketball with him and will never forget him. We lost a Gentleman way too soon.

Mr. Scarpelli has always been so great with me. Especially with helping out with looking for colleges. When I talked to other guidance counselor a at the school, they would always have me settle. Mr.Scarpelli wasn't like that at all. He inspired me to strive for the best and to not settle for anything less than great. Thank you Mr. Scarpelli for that. Truly an inspiration.

I'm so sorry to hear of Mr. Scarpelli passing my deepest sympathy to his family he was a great guidance counselor. He will be missed deeply!

Mr. Scarpelli was one of the only people who gave me direct, good, sound advice as a teenager. as a raging youth, he would sit me down and tell me how it is, and what he thought i should do. many times i listened, many times i didn't. when faced with the wrath of my horrible decisions, he would dusk me off help me through consequences and help me make the right choice the next time. he taught me one of the most valued lessons in life, how to learn from my own mistakes. prayers go out to his family from my family for i would surely not be the man i am today without him. Rest in Power Mr Scarpelli.

Mr. Scarpelli was always there to listen to me and help me through some interesting times as a teen. I will always appreciate his words of wisdom and compassion. My thoughts and prayers are with the Scarpelli family.

I am so sorry for your families loss, Mr. Scarpelli was a wonderful man. It is such a loss. I have known him since I was a teenager myself and he counseled my children also, he touched so may lives in such a positive way. I will always remember him fondly.

A soft-spoken guy who was dedicated and cared. Loved spending a few moments of the day with him conversing and joking. Proud to have had him as a colleague and friend. One of Rockland's finest now serving Our Father in heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with his entire family. God bless you all.

I had the honor of working with Doric on the recent MS/HS building project. Over the short time we worked together i cane to know him as a man of great thoughtfulness, kindness and integrity who treated everyone around him with a a great deal of respect and caring. He will no doubt be sorely missed by the thousands of people who's lives he has impacted over the years. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and the entire Rockland public school family.

It was my great pleasure to volunteer and work alongside Doric for 9+ years. I so admired him. Doric was one of the most kindhearted and humble people I knew. He relished in others successes while keeping his private. He loved showing off all of your photos in his office and sharing stories of your latest accomplishments. He was one proud Dad! I'm sure his kind traits are a part of each of you. A gift from him to all. He will be missed by many.

Judi and Annie, We are so sorry to hear of Doric's passing. Our thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time.

Truely wonderful man, who tried to bring out the best in every student he worked with. Very compassionate kind hearted man who will be deeply missed

Sorry to hear Doric passed away he was a very helpful guidance counselor and my condolences to his family.

Mr. Scarpelli was a true kind hearted individual whose life was dedicated to family and the children he worked with. His ability to help those in need encourage many youth in the town of Rockland. May God bless him and he rest in peace. Prayers for all of his family

Mr. Scarpelli was 1 of the most kind, soft spoken, genuine person I have had the pleasure of meeting. He was always willing to help myself or any other student in any way he could. I would stop by the Guidance Department just to say hello to him. I am so saddened to hear of his sudden passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends & loved ones.

To the Scarpelli family, My deepest sympathy to you during this difficult time. Doric was one of the most capable and kind professional that I had the good fortune to work with at RPS.

There are no words to express how truly and deeply sorry I am. Papa Scarps was one of the greats - a warm soul and family man to the core. My heart is with each and every one of you. xoxo.

Dear Judi, children, Auntie Jean and my dear Scarpelli cousins, Doric (Don) was the most wonderful person you would have the privilege of knowing. The tribute to this kind hearted, gentle soul will forever be with us. Thank you Don for all you did for my son Brian, he was a challenge. I love you all, Pat, Bernie, Brian & Steven Barrows

Auntie Jean, Judi and children, and Scarpelli cousins. So sorry to hear about Don. You are all in our thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time. It is hard to believe that he is gone. How blessed he was to have such a loving and caring family. Love to all. Sharon & Richie Farrell

Although we did not get to know Doric well, our daughter, Susan, and her husband, Jim knew him and Judy quite well and are grieving at his passing. From the few contacts we had with him, we felt he was a kind and gentle man, and a pleasure to be around. Please accept our condolences.

Words fall short of expressing my deepest sorrow. Sending thoughts and prayers to the entire Scarpelli family during this difficult time.

I don't remember Doric ever losing his temper. He was a supportive colleague and boss. My deepest sympathy.

I remember my children knowing Doric from Rockland High and I believe one of my kids had CCD with him. He was a great guy. Sincere condolences to his entire family in this time of grief. God Bless you all.

To Judi and all family members. Our prayers are said and will continue for all of the family. We trust Doric is now at complete peace and comfort. Knowing Doric he has a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eyes appreciating the beauty of his entire family. Not much time goes by without remembering the love of twenty+ people at your home raising walls as we built an addition on your home. This was an example of the magnetism of Doric and Judi. So much love, caring and joy. Others wanted to be around you both. May the Lord's peace and joy be present in your heart as time goes on. We trust Doric is truly filled with this same peace now. Best Regards, Jim and Fran Matthews

Thoughts n prayers with the entire family. Society lost a great guy.

What a wonderful gentleman. I met Doric as a neighbor on No. Union Street and got to know him better as an educator. So very sorry but I know that Doric is with Jesus now. God bless you Judi, Katy and all your wonderful family.

To Mrs. Scarpelli and Family: I met Doric professionally a few years ago. I worked with him in the night school. He was, and will remain, without doubt one of the kindest human beings I have ever had the honor of knowing.

Mrs. Scarpelli and family, My prayers and thoughts are with you at this most difficult time with the loss of a great, kind, and gentleman. I met Doric many years ago through our work in the adult education field. All the years I've known Doric as the Department of Elementary and Education/ACLS Liaison for Rockland PS. He has been a highly dedicated and respectful man, always responding to the needs of his students, and to our demands in the most timely manner - even when on vacation anywhere, the last one being in Italy last Friday, he responded to my email request for information. He will be missed, may he be resting in peace and that the Lord give you strength and comfort throughout this difficult time. Marie Narvaez, DESE/ACLS Marie Narvaez, Canton

As the architect for the school project I can definitively state that it was an absolute pleasure working with Doric. He always had a kind word and deeply cared about the Rockland students and the entire community. I'm privileged to have had the opportunity to get to know over these past 6 years. Thoughts and prayers to Doric's entire family and friends.

He is now living the the treasure that our faith promises. My deepest and sincerest condolences to the entire Scarpelli family. I always felt a great sense of comfort seeing you every week at Holy Family. May God embrace him in his love and guard his family through these difficult days.

To the Scarpelli Family, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

My prayers and sympathy to the entire Scarpelli family. I was shocked and saddened to read this news. Though I haven't had any contact with him since we were classmates at Weymouth High, the tributes and comments here are exactly what I would expect to read. He was a wonderful, kind, soft-spoken young man who remained such throughout his life. I am so very sorry for your loss and hope that his memory brings you strength and peace.

"Judi and family, Sorry for the loss of your husband Doric. I send my deepest sympathy too all of you at this difficult time. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. May you all find comfort in the Lord.

I am so saddened by your loss. Doric was such a positive role model for both the students and colleagues in the Rockland Public Schools and for his family. A kind and decent person he will be missed. The tributes paid him at today's mass were so meaningful and heartfelt. As his daughter-in-law said (sorry I don't remember her name) his influence will be felt for many, many years far and wide. A special person and I feel privileged to have known him.

Judi, How very proud you must be today of your wonderful family. There was love in every room at Magoun-Biggins last night, and there was love in every heart in the church today. You and Doric are responsible for it, and deserve it. I hope you find peace in knowing that Doric knew how very much he was loved. That's all we can ask for when all is said and done. Love to you and yours. Janet LaCombe

So sorry to hear this, Judy. Call me if you want to talk at 781-812-1175.

To the Scarpelli Family, I was saddened to read of the sudden passing of Doric. We were classmates many years ago at St. Jerome's school. I will always remember Doric as being a quiet, gentle and kind individual. I hope your treasured memories of Doric bring you comfort day by day. May The Lord comfort your hearts as only He can do.

I am so saddened by the news of Doric's passing. He was such a l;ovely man. I remember the times when we used to meet up and have a bit of fun. i am sorry I cannot attend the service but my thoughts and prayers are with Judy and the family. With deepest sympathy Kevin Coyne London UK

Doric was my friend. He listened when I was outraged and calmed me when I was pained. He taught me patience and how to think deliberately and righteously in stressful times. He modeled so many traits for which I will always be thankful, but the best that Doric did for Jim and I was watching him as a husband, father, and grandfather, and learning how to do it right. I will miss you, dear friend, but your grace, style and love will live on forever in all those who were touched by you in so many ways.

Today as I made the sign of the cross on my son's forehead - I reflected on the man that showed me this simple, but powerful act twenty years ago. He and his lovely wife Judi were our Baptism leaders. Our sons are now young men, and we have followed their footsteps as Baptism team members. Doric was a role model, a compassionate and faith filled man. May you take comfort in knowing how many lives he touched and that his words, of wisdom and acts of kindness will live on. Peace

Words cannot express my sadness at hearing this news... Doric was a gift to anyone whose life he touched... and there were so many ... in our years at Holy Cross he stood apart as a thoughtful, kind and brilliant classmate and friend...my prayers are with you Judi and with your whole family

Doric was a kind man, soft spoken and always made you comfortable when he spoke. A great smile! Bill and I always admired you both. Our prayers and thought are with you and your family. So sorry. Love Bill and Barbara Manning

I have nothing but found memories of Mr. Scarpelli. He was my guidance counselor at Rockland Junior High from 1985 to 88 and was always kind and caring. I am so sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with your family.

So saddened by this. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Such a wonderful man,

Beautiful tribute to a great guy! So sorry for your loss. The Rockland Daycare staff will miss Doric.

I became Superintendent of Schools in 2007 three months after Doric became Assistant Superintendent. For six years we worked side by side. We had coffee together in the morning and we waited for each other in order to have lunch together. We talked work and sports and family. These times were often the best parts of my day. I frankly haven't got my head around the fact that he has gone. He was a gentle man, an interesting man and above all a family man. My heart goes out to Judy and his children and grandchildren.

Judi and famliy, I had the pleasure of working with Doric for 25 years and have nothing but fond memories. He was a mentor, good friend and the kindess of souls. Our prayers are with you and your wonderful family. Gary and Cynthia Graziano.

I remembered when my class was making the transition to junior high from Memorial Park and he was visiting the classrooms. He was very calm and reassuring to the students, understanding and trying to pacify any anxieties we'd have about going to the new school. He was extremely sympathetic and helpful to the students. I was lucky enough to have him as my guidance counselor in 8th grade. His insight into navigating the school system was very clear cut, and he knew what course of action would benefit the students while still getting a quality education. Not to mention, he was a really nice guy who had this Zen-like personality that could put anyone at ease. My mother, a product of the school system herself, knew many of the school officials herself, hadn't met Mr. S. Upon meeting him as my GC, she couldn't stop raving about how much she liked him, knowing that she could trust him as my GC. I can only echo the statements I've seen about his work from other former students, with many remarking about the care and dedication he had to all of them, no matter where their social standing was in their class. Judgment-free and always sympathetic, he was always there to lend an ear and gave them advice on not only being a good student, but being a good human being. There are a lot of moments I'll remember about Mr. S: his office with a lot of files and books, the short sleeve dress shirt with a tie, his laughter and his easygoing personality. Rest in peace, Mr. S.

Thinking of you and sending prayers to the family at this difficult time.

Doric's loss was such a shock to us. He will be greatly missed. Doric always had a smile and friendly words each time we met. My thoughts go out to his family in this very difficult time.

Judi, So sorry to learn of your loss. I only met Doric a few times, but he was always so pleasant. I am sorry for your loss. I miss working with you at hospice. All good memories of you. I am in Kingston most of the time helping take care of my Dad. Would love to see you and chat sometime. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Doric was a kind, caring, and loving man. His love for Judi, his children, and his grandchildren was known to all. Doric will be missed by many. He was a gentle soul who is now with the angels. My deepest sympathy to all.

I'm so sorry for your loss he was and always will be a great man to I and many others. He will be missed greatly . R.I.P and may god bring you all peace.

One of my fondest memories is being at Judy and Doric's wedding shower. Everytime Judy opened a gift she would thank the giver. Then she would explain the gifts use for the babies to come. It was truly a happy time. Judy and Doric had seven beautiful babies. A true gentleman in every sense, soft spoken and sincere.

Katie & entire Scarpelli clan: There are no words to express my deepest sympathy & sadness for all of you. I hope you find comfort in knowing what a wonderful, kind soul Mr. Scarpelli was. I am so, so sorry
