MARIO MIGNONE

Was just thinking of Professor Mignone a couple of days ago; did not realize his anniversary was coming up. Love and continued blessings to the family.

My condolence to the Mignone Family; Mr. Mignone had been in my thoughts for several weeks, unaware of the reason why. Truly sorry for your loss...remembering his kindness and thoughtfulness as I worked closely with him in International Programs.

Mario will be missed more than my heart can say! Mario ~ my cousin through marriage and yet the times I did see him ~ he was my cousin. I must share that Mario's in-laws (deceased) have always been so proud of their son in law ~ you see I know this ~ for my ZiZi & Uncle Carmen have always spoken with such love & devotion. To Lois & my cousins ~ please know you are ALWAYS ALWAYS in my heart. I love you

While I never knew Mario Mignone, I did know his wife in college. This is a note to say to Lois how sorry I am to get this news. The fact that it was sudden must make it even harder for you and your girls. I will keep you all and Mario in my prayers.

The accolades are justified but to me the non-public persona matters more. Upon arriving in America Mario, at a very young age, took on a leadership role and became the acting father to his six younger siblings. He worked full time to support the family and simultaneously attended The City College of New York (CCNY) as a full time student. Mario...

I would like to say that Professor Mario Mignone was a humble man, regardless of he and his family having all become professionals in America. They studied hard and persevered..........r.i.p. Professor.......my deepest condolences go out to the entire Mignone Family and prayers. Dr. Mignone's brother, Giuseppe, Dr. Giuseppe Mignone, was our family physician for years.
