Condolences to the Dugo family. I had not seen him in years, but once upon a time he was my accounting teacher. I never thought that anyone could make that dry subject interesting, but I actually looked forward to going to his classes. He was a wonderful and entertaining teacher.

YOGI...you are one of the best..thanks for letting me into your life!
Our lifestyles are merely a reflection,
a mirror to our soul
Filled with many mountains
that are hard to climb at times.
Remember your life's journey,
Don't lose focus of your goals
What you feel is your path..take it!
Run with it never look back, you can not live in yesterday
Move forward, explore and enjoy it all!
Bob I so miss you XOXOXO
Linda
Keep livin like you have no tomorrow!

Sending love and our condolences to the Dugo Families. Bob was my cousin, and will be greatly missed. We may not have seen one another in many years, but the greatest memories that I have are the Dugo Reunions at Stoney Brook Park. It was great when all the aunts and uncles and cousins showed up. There were so many of us. I remember it like it was yesterday.
I may not see you today, but you will always be in my heart.

To Bob, my long time friend, my customer, a co-worker in business affairs for years, my band mate at some local gigs, and my occasional party animal partner... I will be unable to be there to say a final good bye however, I can always at anytime from wherever I am and look up and talk of our memories with you. Your life was fun full of energy and events ... you taught so many who will be the ones to lead and continue on.. full of your knowledge and humor. It is not goodby my friend, it is so long, until that time arrives, that we all join you. To all of the family of who I have known forever, my thoughts and prayers will be with you in your time of sorrow. Time.... and the love of God ..... is the only thing that gives true healing.

Mr. Dugo brought humor to the classroom, but also really wanted the students to learn and "get" what they were being taught. I really enjoyed having him for a teacher. He will be missed.
