Dr. Sequeira was a professor of mine at Western CT State University. He then asked me to apply for a teaching position in the New Britain School District as he was taking his place as the new Superintendent. I am currently in my 28th year of teaching in the City of New Britain, thanks to him. Dr. Sequeira gave me the chance to begin my teaching career straight out of college. It is because of him that I am where I am today.
I remember Dr. Sequeira's smile and great big hugs. I think of him often and thank him for providing me the opportunities he did. I think I would have made him proud. He was a true gentleman as well as a gentle-man.
My condolences go out to his family, friends and former colleagues. He was a special man who touched many lives.
He left this world better than he found it.
Sincerely,
Amy (Lovell) Gagne
