Saddened to learn of the passing on of Dr. Captain Diodati, as his students we just called him Dr. D. He was a great teacher, a mentor, a good debater on all life issues. Full of energy with a great sense of humor; a twinkle in his eyes and a crackle of laughter in his voice he would tell us of his life experiences. Though I left Boston University 32 years ago, he followed up on my progress. He took on father figure and each moment he found he would remind me "you are the age of my oldest daughter". Very likable personality. He is gone but the good values and the anecdotes of life I learned from him I will cherish. To the family, thank you Cindy for letting me know of the passing on of Dr. Captain Diodati. I feel your loss as my husband Harun passed on 2-2-2013, I have found joy and great comfort in Christ Jesus. May God bless and keep you as a family. Prof. (Dr). Gladys Opinya - Nairobit, Kenya
