In the Autumn of 1980 during my first semester, junior year at the University of Notre Dame, I had the great, good fortune to be a member of Professor Buttigieg“s History of Literary Criticism course. Although Professor Buttigieg and I differed over the Anatomy of Criticism by Northrop Frye, his course continues to have a poignant place in my intellectual life. I must apologize for the lateness of my posting of condolences and sympathies to the Buttigieg family; however, please know Professor Buttigieg remains one of my favorite teachers from my tenure as an undergraduate at Notre Dame.

I was moved to tears, today, as Pete spoke of his family, and wanted to learn more about the type of man who would have raised and influenced such a kindhearted and service-oriented person.

My deepest condolences to the Buttigieg family.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Prof Buttigieg's passing. His meticulous scholarship on Gramsci had tremendous impact on me as a grad student and continues to this day. I was honored to hear him speak at conferences and was always struck by his generosity and joyful being. Sincere condolences to his family. Jeanette McVicker

Very saddened by the loss of a good friend, a fine scholar, and a good hearted man. I know Joe as a person of vast knowledge, critical thinker, but also as an amazing person, a gentleman, and as someone who could relate to others with diverse opinions with tremendous respect and openness. I miss conversing with him.
My sincere condolences to his family. May his soul rests in peace.
