It was a privilege for me to work with Dr. Petrocelli from 1990-1995 while he served as Rhode Island Commissioner of Higher Education. No one word can describe him. He was a scientist, engineer, teacher, philosopher, poet, futurist, humorist, economist, mentor, problem-solver, friend, and leader. He was thoroughly devoted to his family and to his community -- which he saw as his extended family. Most of all, he was a humanitarian who leaves a legacy that few can match. Thank you, Rick, for...

A limb has fallen from the family tree.
I keep hearing a voice that says, "Grieve not for me.
Remember the best times, the laughter, the song.
The good life I lived while I was strong.
Continue my heritage, I'm counting on you.
Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through.
My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.
Remembering all, how I truly was blessed.
Continue traditions, no matter how small.
Go on with your life, don't worry about...
