Frank Imbragulio

Dr. Imbragulio was an awesome piano instructor. I took private lessons for a few years and learned so much! We had fun playing duets together! Especially since he had two baby grand pianos! Memories! He will always have a special place in my heart!

Francis was a dear friend since I first knew him as a student at Jones County Junior College in Ellisville, Miss. in the School year 1959-60. After 1 year, I went to Hattiesburg to Mississippi Southern College to study with his brother, George. Since that time the both have been very dear fiends. Francis' passing leaves me very sad. I shall always cherish those days.

You were an important part of my education as a student in the School of Music at the University of Southern Mississippi (formerly Mississippi Southern College). I was a Music ED major with emphasis on voice. You thought me piano and composed three songs for me to sing in my senior recital..You will be missed by all who knew and loved you.

I am saddened to hear of Francis' passing. He was a friend of my family for years and such a devoted friend to so many. His warmth and love for those who knew him will certainly be our loss.

Farewell, my friend. I remember all the fun we had while at Florida State and since re-establishing contact about 15 years ago. What a talented duo: Frank and George. You made our world a better place and will be greatly missed.

I'm so sorry to hear about Dr. Imbragulio. I studied piano with him in the 11th & 12th grade and my freshman year at USA. I learned so much from him and loved his gentle spirit. I knew that I wanted to become a music major and piano was my main instrument, even though I was a Music Ed. major. I shared his love of cats, too!

Francis was a graduate student at USM while I was getting my Bachelors Degree in Music.
George, his brother was my piano teacher.
I so admired them both. I had not been able to reach Francis in weeks and thought that
he might be hospitalized and wonder if he had a stroke? He used to cook in my home in Hattiesburg and played piano for me to sing whenever I came home to Hattiesburg during my years in NYC. We shared so much together and he wrote a song cycle for me named "Six Japanese...

I am sad to hear that the world has lost such talent. I will always remember the lessons my Godfather taught me, in piano and life. The Angels will surely be making you work for your keep by making joyful music!!!

Such sad news. He was such a talented & kind man. He taught me piano for several years of my youth, was my sisters Godfather, and later her piano teacher as well. He will definitely be missed!
