I had the pleasure of meeting your father at Columbus Sports Connection where I am a personal trainer. Although we spoke only once for about 15 minutes, he made a lasting impression on me. I'm so sad to hear of his passing. I was looking forward to more chats with him.

To the entire DiOrio family. Lou was one of my faculty when I was in dental school and he really took me under his wing. I could see the pride in him when I decided to go into academics. He would stop by every couple of months just to see how I was doing and see if there was anything he could do to help. His experience and mentoring really helped shape me as a faculty member and made me a better person. I am truly sorry for your loss as he was one of the most giving and amazing people I have ever met.
