Mario Carlo Dominic Di Nello

Once again I write in memory of a wonderful and inspiring professor, Dr. Di Nello. Now in my own retirement and writing my memoirs, he will absolutely be included as a positive driving force during my undergraduate experiences at TWU. Surely he is having a glorious time in heaven with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I look forward to joining him and other loved ones as God sees fit.

Dr. Di Nello was the first professor who believed in my ability. As one of a few Black students to work in the reading clinic, he taught me so much. Later, I established a similar clinic as a professor at the University of Kentucky. In 2013 when I received the Chancellor´s Distinguished Award at TWU, I was saddened to learn about Dr. Di Nello´s Alzheimer´s diagnosis. However, I will never forget his passionate instruction which motivated me to do the same as a professor, researcher, and later...

Dr. Di Nello, his wife and his music were such a blessing at church. A beautiful and sweet couple.

So thankful you each have blessed memories to cherish.

Our condolences to the family.

Dr. Di Nello was my instructor at TWU. I was blessed to have an instructor so kind. His knowledge of reading instruction was amazing. My love of teaching reading is a result of his instruction. He will be missed.
