I was and still am , a close friend to his daughters. I can only remember, Mr Lisi being so funny .. One time I came over , and he had taken the kitchen cabinets doors off , to sell to a client down the street .. And one cabinet was on the floor and, he happened to be on the ground behind it ,and then opened the doors and said , well Hello … and for heavens sake I will miss him and his Antics.
Sending my Condolences at this time
Sending prayers and love , Valerie Kennedy

Both Carol and Dale will always have a special place in our hearts. The boys will forever remember Mr Lisi bringing Joseph and Michael out to play with them, his Slurpie deliveries, his bags of chocolate and his smile and wave hello whenever he passed by. They were both wonderful people and will be missed on Karl Road by all of is who knew them. Sending love and peace and prayers- Glen, Kendra, Benjamin, Luke and Zack Chambers
My science teacher at Edison, he could tell I wasn’t ‘all in’ in his class; he made it so I could do extra credit projects in order to finish strong. He was likable, funny and had a great demeanor. May he Rest In Peace.
As an Edison Class of 1981 alumni I had Mr Lisi in 10th grade. He graded our class on a curve, thank goodness. One thing he said was, “if you don’t remember anything else, remember to compare and contrast”. And I have.
I’ll be stopping by his finally resting place, when I visit my parents’, at Mount Comfort.
He made a difference 🙏

I had great memories of Mr. Lisi being a wonderful science teacher, even though I struggled in the subject. He made it interesting and challenged us. Sending condolences to the family and may he rest in peace.
