What a wonderful man and excellent teacher and Professor. I was in several of Professor Bolgiano's courses at the U of Delaware and learned so much in them - he was a master of the communications technology field. Thanks for all you have done to educate Electrical Engineers.

Dad you will be greatly missed. Thank you for being a wonderful husband to mom and father to all of us. You are the reason I love tennis and try to live by your positive outlook on life. Paul and I were lucky to have you in our lives as long as we did. Love you dad.

Paul was my PhD advisor, a wonderful human being and a great friend. It is ironic that I learned of his death today. My daughter had given my the gift of storyworth for Christmas in which each she asks a question each week for me to answer. The answers to questions over a year are compiled into a book. This week's question was "who is the most important person in your life?" I immediately thought of Paul, He was kind, generous, a marvelous professor and always acting in the best interest of his students. I owe much of the success that I have had in life to him. I often think of him and am deeply saddened to learn that he has passed. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends. We have lost a wonderful human being.

Very sorry to learn of Professor Blogiano passing away. He was a very kind man and helped me get through school. I remember him well. I wish I would have known back then that, like me, he was from Baltimore. Alan Solomon UD '83 BEE
