Joseph Maniaci was my social studies teacher for both the 7th and 9th grades back in the 1970s at the Peconic St. Jr. High School. He mixed both sensitivity and strictness in his classes and most students loved and trusted him. I fondly remember him taking a slice of salami from my sandwiches from home and patting me on the back often. He was one of the best teachers and those who knew him are better for the experience. Rest In Peace Mr. Maniaci

Heavenly wishes, Joe. I attended Connetquot High School with Joe, graduating in June of 1966. Joe was our Hero. We followed his play at every game, Home and Away. He walked the High School halls, and everyone made sure to congratulate him for his play. He was a generous and really lovely person. He made Hight School fun. Our sympathy for his wife and family. Go Thunderbirds. Ed and Diane (Pickering) Szynaka

So sad to hear about Mr. Maniaci’s passing, he was one of my favorite teachers. I was excited to go to his class everyday and he made me want to learn more about our history. I enjoyed being a part of the Yorker Club that he ran and was happy to see him still involved at school events in more recent years. He will be sorely missed. Rest In Peace.

Never will forget the day I met Joe. I think it was 1964 0r 65 in the gym at Connetquot around the beginning of October during pre-basketball season. We were working out playing pickup games myself, Billy Hofmann, Tommy Hofmann, Dave, Dam Lendowski and a few others. We had heard about this "BIG GUY" transferring from Power Memorial. He was the "back up to Lou Alcindor" who went on to become Kareem Abdul Jabbar. He entered the gym a mountain man...like 6'5 and built like a fire hydrant! We started to play, and it wasn't long before WE KNEW we were going to be a great team! I tasted an elbow in the chest early on and made it my business not to try next year to guard him anymore! He could do anything on the court shoot it from far or rebound like an animal. He put CONNETQUOT on the map! Always a great team guy and a very good friend. Many years after we graduated, I was blessed to be nominated to be on THE WALL OF FAME! At the banquet he was one of the first to congratulate me. We remained distant friends for many years. Rest in Peace Joe!

Eventually he returned to his alma mater and taught at Connetquot as well. We used to have such laughs over the fact that he was now my equal. He was such a delight and had a great sense of humor. In the course of 25 years a lot of students cross your path, but not all of them leave an imprint in your heart like Joe did. He will be sorely missed by those who.knew him

Joe was truly "Mr. T-Bird". As a former student, teacher, coach, and of course photographer Joe's life revolved around family and Connetquot. I'm grateful I had the opportunity to see him last year at the Connetquot vs. Newfield football game. I was able to introduce this legend to both my son and grandson. Joe will be missed, but fondly remembered by everyone who was fortunate enough to know him. May flights of angels take him to his rest.

Joe was always so kind to us at the preschool. He would come in and take photos of the kids and tell us how much he loved the events we were doing. Just an amazingly kind person. He will surely be missed by so many. God bless him and his family.

My deepest condolences to your family. Mr M. Was one of my favorite teachers in middle school. He was consistently happy, upbeat and loved being there. Made middle school years better! Many years have passed; however it only took a moment after learning of his passing for the memories of how, as an educator, he impacted those years of my life.

So very sorry to hear of Joe's passing. I was a business teacher at the HS & began teaching the first day it opened in 1963. During the course of my tenure there for.25 years , I had the pleasure of having Joe as one of my students .
Eventually he returned to his alma mater and taught at Connetquot as well. We used to have such laughs over the fact that he was now my equal. He was such a delight and had a great sense of humor. In the course of 25 years a lot of students cross your path, but not all of them leave an imprint in your heart like Joe did. He will be sorely missed by those who.knew him
My sincere condolences to his family and friends

I only knew him briefly during our time at the Arbors when I took the children to play bingo. He was a kind sweet and patient gentleman while taking photos. Bless your soul.

I am sorry sorry to hear about Joe's passing, and I extend my most heartfelt condolences to his large and loving family. Joe was was an outstanding teacher in every way...dedicated, well-organized, and meticulous. He had an incredible way of breathing life and perspective into world history and current events. For me, he was inspirational. I grew up without a father, and for me Joe was an important role model, through his always kind, thoughtful and caring example. He will be missed so much, but I know that his influence will always be with me.
