Not sure what to say?

Edna, your family helped and supported me in so many ways. Thank you so much. I'm very lucky to have had Felix as a mentor, friend, and colleague. He lives on in the many lives he touched.

I will always cherish the time and attention Dr. Nigro gave me during my academic studies. My career was greatly advanced by his steady advice. My condolences to you, Edna, because you helped me in so many ways too. And, to Lloyd - your father made a real difference in his academic family's life.

Dear Lloyd, Carol and Members of the Nigro Family:

We will always treasure the dinners and stories that we shared with Felix and Edna in Atlanta. Felix certainly prepared us to meet his counterpart, Bill Farber!

Our sincere condolences,

Dear Edna and Family, Our thoughts are with you ar this time. We will miss Felix at the Fellowship. It was an honor to read about his many contributions to making this a better world. With love,

Mrs. Nigro, Lloyd, and other family members - I was very sorry to read of Felix's passing, but I do remember him with fondness and gratitude for his quiet yet authoritative (not authoritarian) manner. If they need any advice on personnel administration in heaven, he will be the "go-to" guy. My wife and I extend our sincere condolences.

To the Nigro Family. Dr. Nigro was still teaching at UGA when I joined the department in 1980. I remember him as a very purposeful man of his work. It has always been a delight to continue to see him and his lovely wife Edna at our holiday luncheon each year. My condolences to your family.
