Our deepest condolences from your cousins the Viscuglia´s.

He was one of the greatest men I encountered in my whole life, I was from Newark local 699 and I moved to Elizabeth and I was directed to local 394 where I was embraced in a personal lever from a BA of honor and respect. He was so good to me I gave my son a name with Mr Riggi's initials which were JR my son name is Jamar, an I'm so proud to have a friend in him My Allah bless his soul and embrace his spirit

Rest John, until you hear at dawn, the low, clear reveille of God. Thank you for your service to this nation. U.S. Army Air Force, WWII.

Mr. Riggi was a great neighbor, and good friend to all us kids back in the day. He was a dedicated family man who drew great respect from everyone. There are not many of the "Greatest Generation" left here in my town now. Rest in Peace Mr. Riggi, you are in great neighborly company, along with my Father, Mother and Brother Rich. Anthony E.

Hey John

I just want you to know that I love you miss you and that you have been a huge part of my life story and those I meet. I have shown pictures to the non believers because I was proud that you took the time you spent with me and the many walks we shared both in conversation and in silence. May the angels take you to a place of refreshment light and peace my friend. All the best to your family, both of them!! Just wanted to light a candle for you so you can light your path...

Mr Riggi Was & Always Will be A Man Of True Dignity & Honor in My Heart! Never forgetting those who Truely "Looked Up" to him as an Admiration! My husband worked for him for Many Years, and had the Upmost Respect for him, when my husband passed, he called Me & the words he said will forever be Bright in my mind! My Son was Honored to Serve Mass at his Funeral and We Will Always keep him In Our Hearts!
God Bless You & Your Family Always!

John Riggi was a dear friend of mine and we spend countless hours together in Cumberland, MD ate many lunches together and exercised. He always had a smile, was funny, and a man of respect. John was a part of my life then and still is today. I met his son Manny whom I just love and my heart goes out to the family. John and I attended Mass many times together and his faith was unwavering and solid. I love and miss you JR. See you on the other side!!!!

Dear Vinnie, Manny, Johnny, and the girls I am truly sorry for you loss. Your father was a great man and he will be mist. I am sorry that I couldn't be at the funnel but was not around at the time. Again your father will be mist.
