I have know Dana for over 10 years. He was our account rep at the Bristol Warren School Department. He was always a gentleman. He was the best rep I have ever had to deal with. But he also became a friend. He always had a beautiful smile that I will hold in my heart. He took great care of us. We are praying for all his family and friends who are trying to come to terms with his untimely passing. He is with His Lord.

I knew Dana Rigo for 7 yrs, he was my Sales Rep. not only was he perfect at that but he was an amazing person to have known we would have great conversations about life, I saw him before Thanksgiving and he asked me for my Portuguese Thanksgiving Stuffing recipe and I had such a great time explaining it to him and remembering how excited he was about making it. I was also able to see Dana a day before he passed he came in for our regular once a month business visit and seeing him that day with a smile on his face as always. I cannot believe he will never be part of my life again but I hold him dear to my heart in spirit and in memory. May you rest in peace Dana.

To The Family of Dana, My sincere condolences on the loss of Dana. I have know Dana for more than 25 years. He was my friend and supply rep, wherever he relocated I would follow. He went out of his way to make sure we were always happy with the product and service. I looked forward to seeing him whenever he came into my office. He had a wonderful smile and personality. I will miss him terribly. My prayers and thoughts are with you all. Janice Masse

Dana combined that personal care and attention with his professional services to forge a lasting bond. I will always appreciate his courtesy and his attention that went beyond the contractual services his business provided. He will be remembered for these lasting qualities.

Dear Nancy and Family. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. We know that there are no words that can be said to ease the pain, but be assured that the memories will always be there. Bob has always been concerned about D.J. and all I had to say was that I saw Nancy Rigo and the first words out of his mouth were "How's D.J.?" Well, now we know that he is in a better place, right along with our own Nancy. Our deepest sympathies to all of you. Diane and Bob Davis
