Mr. Torlincasi was not only an amazing teacher but I quickly learned at 17 years old an amazing man as well. I remember the tough exterior every student thought he had but it was very clear for me to see the softness of his heart. It was the way he talked about his grandchildren and cracked a smile and the one time he spoke about his  student who died in Vietnam. All those years later He remembered exactly where that boy sat. When he signed your yearbook he always gave you a kiss on the cheek wishing you luck in the world. The truth is we were already lucky because we had a teacher like him. 

Mr. Torlincasi was an amazing teacher and mentor. He was respected and adored by all who had the privilege of learning from him. He will truly be missed. 

Mr. Torlincasi was the teachers of all teachers! I remember being in his class. And of all my classes I never said a word, I was too scared and had too much respect for him! Prior to going into real estate. I too was a social studies teacher and I tried to emulate him when I became a social studies teacher myself.  He taught my parents, my aunts and uncles, my in-laws and then my generation. He is a large part of the history of Franklin Square and H. Frank Carey and they do not make them like him anymore! My condolences go out to his family and all of his loved ones. May Mr. T rest in eternal peace. Xoxoxo

I had Mr Torlincasi when I was a student at H Frank Carey . I don’t know how many times over the years when the conversation of teaching came up I would always bring up Mr T name. He was a teachers teacher. He would engage the students he made us think he made history real for us. His teaching has always stayed with me. You will be missed ,but you left your mark on all of us.

I remember having him as a Social Studies teacher at Carey. Thank You for all your guidance and teaching.

Mr. T was a wonderful teacher and because of his talents I came away with a deep love for history. I remember asking him to recommend books which gave a deeper understanding of certain eras we were discussing in class, he was always happy to provide the titles for me. May his memory always be a blessing to his friends and family. 

Mr. Torlincasi was an incredible teacher who taught study skills as well as teaching European History.  I learned to take notes and keep a notebook from him.  I was so proud of those notebooks, and they were so useful that I actually kept them until our last move.
Mr. Torlincasi taught us how to think, write and to argue using facts.
During a time of incredibly overcrowded classes he managed to assign essays and carefully grade them using encouraging comments.  
I am sorry for the family's loss and know his memory will be a blessing.
