Mr P was greatly loved by so many students, his colleagues, friends and of course, his family. My two older boys had him for math-with Mr P they found not only a great teacher but a true friend. Jason-Rest in Peace.

Although my children never had the privilege of taking math from Mr. Picetti, they both love Mrs. Picetti. Her bravery these past four years has also been truly inspiring. We are thinking of you Fehmeen.

Jason is a true inspiration, as is his wonderful wife. He will be missed greatly.

Two of our children were both in Mr and Mrs Picettis' classes many years ago. My children had fond memories. We wish all the best to the Picetti's. It's been 2 years since we moved to Singapore......Mr P you will always be remembered! RIP

I went to school with Jason from K-12. I remember him playing 'The Entertainer' on the piano for a talent show in the fourth grade at Allen Elementary which made me take up piano lessons so I could be like him. He was everyone's friend and always had a smile on his face. So sorry to hear that something like this happened to such a nice guy.

While our children never had Mr Picetti as a classroom teacher, they learned so much from his valiant fight against this awful disease. Jason leaves an incredible legacy, an incredible wife and daughter behind. He will be missed dearly but always remembered.
