Deepest sympathies on the passing of a wonderful role model and great teacher. Dr. Famularo's teaching methods laid a great foundation for his students to advance in the field of engineering he clearly loved. His genuine concern for his students was always evident. He was truly one of the best.

Dear Famularo Family,
Sincere condolences on the loss of a clearly devoted family man and a true teaching and engineering professional. As a student of Dr. Famularo at Manhattan College, I recall him well. He taught some of the most challenging courses in a challenging discipline - with high expectations (rightfully so) for his students. Upon thinking back, I realize how fortunate I was to have even a few hours a week under his instruction. There are many students who would join me in thanking Dr. Famularo for his dedication and example.
Thank You and God Bless.

Dear Lisa and family,
My sincere condolences at the passing of your wonderful father. I remember the times that you told me how special he was and I enjoyed the opportunity to meet him and your family in the late 1980's. May your precious family memories be a great comfort to you, Lisa.
