For some reason, I was thinking of Mr. Frigo today, and tried to look him up. I was so sorry to read that he passed away. I had him for English at Tinley Park HS. He was a brilliant, lovely man and I don´t think we fully appreciated at the time his towering intellect. In spite of my immaturity, I learned a great deal from him. My condolences to his family.

Mr. Frigo was my literature teacher in High School and the faculty advisor of our school yearbook. He was an inspiring teacher. I always appreciated him and would often think of him over the years. I am sorry that he has passed on. I would have liked to speak with him again.
