Early Life and Education

In the early years of a child’s life, they learn about themselves and the world around them. Their relationship with their parents, as well as other experiences outside the home, are essential in shaping who they become as individuals.

Early childhood years are essential for a child’s intellectual development, social-emotional growth and overall health. Exposure to positive factors like stable and responsive relationships with parents or other adults, secure environments with supportive people and an instilled sense of self-worth can all aid in this process.

UNESCO recognizes the value of investing in early childhood care and education as a critical investment for both children and their communities. A truly inclusive approach to early childhood education is an essential building block for learning and emotional wellbeing, making it one of the most crucial investments a country can make.

Personal Life

John Scaramuzzo’s personal life was profoundly shaped by his family and faith. Born in 1932, he wed Grace Marie Doherty (1932-2017), whom sadly passed away in 2017. They had two daughters whom he cherished dearly; spending time with them was something special for him.

He had many friends and enjoyed socializing and playing cards. Additionally, he enjoyed music and sports. Furthermore, he and his wife were members of St. Charles parish in Oakwood section of Staten Island.

He retired in 2015 and joined ArchCare’s Senior Life PACE program. On February 21 at Carmel Richmond Nursing Home on Old Town Road in Staten Island, their vow renewal ceremony was conducted by Father Louis Jerome with their son Douglas speaking on their behalf.

Net Worth

Net worth is the total value of money and assets owned by an individual or group minus all debts, including any investments. It can serve as a measure of wealth and can be useful for tracking income and expenses as well as evaluating investment returns and potential. For instance, someone with a high net worth may have enough cash to cover their mortgage and pay for children’s college education; however, if they owe substantial credit card debt their net worth will decrease significantly. Therefore it’s critical to manage finances wisely and make informed decisions for yourself and your family when making financial decisions.
