PLUS: Memorial service information.
Forestdale 8th graders on their class trip to Washington, DC may have missed Paul Famiglietti's memorial services at Malden High School last weekend, so for now, they'll bring Malden's flair for memorializing to the capital. An American flag will fly over the US Capitol building in honor of the hometown hero, with the class later transporting the gift home for the Famiglietti family. Paul's wife Susan is a teacher at the school. “Just found out they are flying a flag over the Capitol building in Washington DC for my Dad Thursday and sending the flag home with my Mom's school during their eighth grade trip!” Famiglietti's daughter Amy wrote on Facebook. “MY DAD...Just a regular everyday guy who wore tshirts and jeans every day! “First time …

Student photographers capture a sign from beyond - or, at the very least, a strange coincidence - during departed teacher Paul "Mr. Fam" Famiglietti's candlelight vigil Saturday.
Students walking by the Family Dental office near Malden High School snapped this photograph as they returned to an impromptu memorial for Paul “Mr. Fam” Famiglietti Saturday night. Juniors Will Lombard and Hannah Calderone were coming back from buying candles at Walgreens when they saw the sign - with the "I" "L" "Y" in "Family" turned off, spelling "Fam" - which Lombard called “more than a coincidence.” To top it off, the pair said a motorcycle drove by behind them as they took the picture. Famiglietti, known by all as "Mr. Fam," died during a motorcycle accident on Route 2 near Westminster Saturday, and was well-known as a biker to his students, even sporting a leather biker jacket signed by hundreds of graduating seniors. “I think …

Around three to four hundred residents took part in a candlelight vigil outside of Malden High School Sunday night, paying homage to a “great friend,” “true Maldonian” and “one of the most honest people” they'd ever met – the late study hall proctor and "jack of all trades" Paul Famiglietti, who passed away after a motorcycle crash Saturday afternoon.

There was also a brief non-denominational prayer by Allison Labbe of the Salvation Army and a performance of “Amazing Grace” by the Malden High School Choir. About 200 candles were donated by Malden Crime Watch. “We …
