I just learned of Professor Di Taranto's passing. He was supportive and incredibly helpful to me in my junior and senior years of college. My career was blessed by his help and I will always appreciate it. Best to his family.

Although we were in different departments in the School of Engineering at Widener, I knew Rocco for many years. He was a man of great wisdom, rationality and common sense, and, above all, he was a true gentleman. I will miss him.
