Badoian, Martin J.
By Canton CitizenMartin J. Badoian, beloved and legendary high school mathematics teacher at Canton High School, passed away at 6:25 a.m. on October 27, 2018.
Over the past year, Marty’s usual robust health had slowly left him and a diagnosis of cancer in May pinpointed the reason. He passed away peacefully at home, the morning after enjoying a Red Sox World Series game with family and friends. Family, friends, former students, and current Canton math team students visited often in his last days at home.
He is survived by his wife, Linda, son Peter (wife Robin), daughter Leslie (husband Matthew), grandchildren Nicholas, Cooper, Beatrix, Darby, and Nathaniel, sister Barbara, and myriad of his “kids” and “grandkids” — thousands of former students and players on his teams.
As teacher, sports coach, math team coach, friend, brother, husband and father, Martin’s robust commitment to truth, inclusion, and fairness, working to one’s potential, having a “growth mindset” (before we knew the term), team and personal loyalty, dynamic classroom presence and curricular innovation, and love of mathematics inspired generations.
A memorial service celebrating Marty’s life was held Saturday at the First Congregational Church of Sharon. Donations in his memory may be sent to the CHS Math Team Booster Club, Attn: Don Devoid, 900 Washington St., Canton, MA 02021.
