Not sure what to say?

Dr. Di Maio was my favorite professor. I took multiple classes that he instructed and enjoyed every one! He was a wonderful man. I was saddened to read of his passing.

Our condolences to Sonnia, Lara and family from Delia, Laura & Silvia Stazio, and Kevin Poser. Carlo Di Maio and Antonio Stazio can now be together to enjoy an espresso and reminisce about their long & beautiful friendship.

Carlo Di Maio was a great teacher and a welcoming host. I met Lara and Irene on Delgado Drive where Carlo cooked pizza for the entire class of Italian 51 the summer of 1975. I still have my notebooks from that class because they include recipes for ricotta cheese and other dishes Il Profesore thought important to our intro to Italian! Boun viaggio, Carlo!!

Lara and family, My sincere condolences for the loss of Dr. Di Maio. I loved him from the day I met him in Classical Mythology. He was passionate about the topic and infused humor and stories that kept my Freshman mind focused on the subject at hand. He was such a pleasure to know. Love, Brenna

We always felt welcome every time we talked to him, he was a kind, humble and happy person who took his time to interact with others. You will be missed, Carlo!

Our condolences and blessings to Di Maio family.

I was so honored that he drove to Mississippi to attend my very small wedding even though I no longer worked at SLU. I...

Mis mas sentido pésame para toda la familia

May he rest in peace.

Love,
Leah, Matthew, Gage and Maxwell
