Please accept the most heartfelt sympathies of Le Moyne College. We hope the love and memories that you will forever hold in your heart bring you peace and comfort during this difficult time.
Our deepest sympathy go out to Donna Marie and the family of "The Professor" (as we knew and called him). We surely will miss his visits, conversations and haggling, whenever he visited the Flea Market. He was an interesting and accomplished man for sure. May you rest in peace dear Professor.
Great professor and even a greater man! D. Lombardo always took the time to get to know his students, He perfected his craft early on in his career and was able to teach it with ease! By far my favorite teacher on any level! I will never forget, 10 years into my LE career I still think of how you influenced my success by your genuine kindness and care for me as a student! Men like you don’t come around often and I’m one out of thousands of students that were lucky enough to be in your classes! Enjoy your scotch and rest easy my friend! RIP D. Lombardo!
One of the most genuine professors I had the privilege of learning from. He was truly passionate about his teaching, and would lend anybody as much help as they needed, whether it be coursework or personal issues. Professor Lombardo, I hope you’re enjoying your scotch in paradise!
I used to have a blast with Dick on the bus to NYC with Dottie Yaizzo. He was so much fun and kept us laughing the whole time. Truly a special person and will be missed. RIP Dick. I know you will still be making everyone laugh in Heaven
Wonderful man, great teacher, way ahead of his time in his progressive views and approach to education and society in general. He represented the best of what we can be.
Mr. Lombardo was one of my professor's at occ. He was an amazing teacher that always was very involved with his students. I often spoke about his class after my time at school and how great he was and all I learned from him. I'm greatful I had the opputuinty to have such a great teacher !
The ultimate Professor and gentleman. Through the many years since my graduation I have thought of Mr. Lombardo and how his direction, kindness, intelligence and supportive nature all made such an everlasting impression within my soul. I will forever remember him.....rest in the peace you so freely gave to others Mr Lombardo
