John I. Rigolizzo

The sad news of the passing of John Rigolizzo just reached me. I am saddened, but I take solace in the fact that his lagacy will live forever. John's leadership role in the agricultural community was colossal. His fingerprint is all over New Jersey Agriculture's future.

John was an innovator and smart entrepreneur in his own right, but he saw the need to advance the entire agricultural community instead of only promoting his own self interest. He went beyond that. He had a...

My deepest sympathy to you and your family. John was a highly respected person in the agricultural and horticultural industry. I had the pleasure of visiting him many times on his farm and at meetings like the New Jersey Peach Council which was probably the last time I saw him. He always displayed a optimistic attitude to us in agriculture. I will miss him.

John was a very special person and a large part of our lives. He was the brother I never had. Ben and I remember many wonderful years and enjoyed all the special holidays he helped make warm and memorable. Our hearts go out to Helen and their children in their great loss. He will be sorely missed.

Uncle Johnny was a caring, sensitive and nice man. His talents were multi-faceted. His love for Aunt Helen, his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren was boundless. I am sure the thought of his love and caring will warm their hearts for many years to come.

John was for very long an icon of New Jersey's food system. He lived his life by simple but powerful ideals - service, commitment, dialog partnership and firmness. When the next historical account of New Jersey agriculture is written, John will prominently feature in it. Go well my friend and adviser. Rest in Peace. My condolences to Helen and the family. John was a great man.

Mike, sorry to hear of your loss. Hope you and family are holding up during this trying time. I'm sure all the men of Malvern have your father in their prayers. Jeff Mullen- Prosit
