My Uncle Tony will be missed by Jeff and me. We had so many great times and memories together whenever he was in Phoenix or I was visiting in Portland .  
Much love to the family! 
Toni & Jeff Polett

Dr. Palermini was a neighbor, mentor, advisor and more importantly a friend.  Tony was the  superident of DDSC during my three children's education. He was responsible for my being highered as an elementary teacher at GP. 
My son and Tony's grandson played on the same soccer team.  During which, I was training director of plumbers and steamfitters. apprenticeship and journey training. We had many work related and social conversations at the soccer games.Tony expressed if I ever leave my curent employment and wanted to return to elementary education, to contact him.  I taught for 20 years at GP.
Dr.Palermini  was one of the most gifted orators I have  had the priveledge of listening to. Beyond his great leadership, administrative and academics skills, Dr. Palermini had another great inrerest. He had a strong dislike for a rodent, a ground mole. Tony became an expert on the eradacation of the pest.  He was more than willing to share his trials and tribulations to educate the public.I consider Dr.Anthony (Tony) Palermini as the greatest  infuence on my career as a teacher.

Tony, One of my favorites. He hired me at DD and I cast him as a Doo Wop character when he moved to AZ. Everyone fell in love with Tony. He is at Peace♡
Wonderful family who will miss him. He lived a full and exciting life.
