Sandra, I am very sorry to hear of your loss. My dad passed away this past Christmas and the loss of the strong men in our lives leaves a lasting impact for certain. I pray you, Elizabeth and Nicholas find comfort on the countless memories he left. May you each feel him in every moment.

My prayers and thoughts are with the family and friends of Dr. Rigazio- Digillio. He was a mentor to me and organized the completion of my masters through the program with The Mico University in Jamaica. He was a great force in ensuring I did not give up when everything came up for me not to complete the program. His dedication to his students and people in general has often lead me to talk about him in my corner of the world. He always encouraged me to effect change and lead from the front....

Our hearts and thoughts go out to the family of Tony R-D. Thank you for sharing him with his CCSU family and the thousands of lives he touched. As a 20 year adjunct, I appreciated the authenticity and vision of Tony who was always looking to bring the invaluable resource of "professor of practice" to his students. His kindness, vision, thoughtfulness, and high standards for each of his students never got lost in his piles of papers occupying the top of his desk. People always came first...

We shall dearly miss you, may you find rest in that house of eternal love. May god, give courage and strength to your family and all those you loved. Dr. Rigazio-DiGillo you were truly far above the rest. Fare Thee Well, to our great innovator, visionary, loved leader and mentor Tony. Sincerely, Jesse

Tony was an inspirational leader in education. As a member of the 1st Cohort of CCSU's Ed.D. program, Tony was instrumental in providing thousands of points to construct vision. His essence will forever remain in the hearts and actions of his students and family. My sincere sympathy. Dr. Ann L. Perrault

Tony was the "real deal". He had the heart of a teacher and was a "master" teacher before that term became common. I owe a great deal to Tony for any success I had as a school administrator especially in regards to supervision and evaluation of staff. He was a Rock Star in this aspect of 092 training! Tony will be missed. Greg Blanchfield
