The House of Representatives of the State of Rhode Island has passed a resolution expressing profound condolences on the passing of the Honorable Thomas R. DiLuglio, a former Lieutenant Governor of Rhode Island. The resolution highlights his legacy as a dedicated public servant, beloved family man, and accomplished individual. DiLuglio, who was raised in Providence and graduated from Classical High School, was a celebrated athlete at Brown University, where he set records in high jump and earned accolades in various competitions. He later pursued a law degree at Boston University and had a successful career as both a prosecutor and defense attorney, as well as a businessman involved in multiple industries.

The resolution also acknowledges DiLuglio's significant contributions to public service, including his tenure as a State Senator and Lieutenant Governor from 1977 to 1984. He was known for his intelligence, integrity, and commitment to the people of Rhode Island, leaving behind a legacy that includes founding a state chapter of the Alzheimer's Association and advocating for the state's economy. The House extends its deepest sympathies to the DiLuglio family and directs the Secretary of State to transmit a certified copy of the resolution to them.
