Tony Di Giore, Arts Council Leader

A TRIBUTE TO TONY DI GIORE, ARTS COUNCIL LEADER


It is with a heavy heart that we share the obituary of our West Springfield Arts Council Leader and Treasurer, Tony Di Giore.  Tony loved his community of West Springfield, the Arts, and especially Music.  It was not unusual for Tony to begin our monthly Arts Council Open Meetings with a song.  His enthusiasm and love of life were infectious.  Tony inspired us.   Our West Springfield Arts Council pledges to continue to honor his memory by fulfilling our council’s mission of promoting, supporting, and encouraging the arts, humanities and interpretive sciences within the  West Springfield community.
