He was a world traveler and an avid reader. He will be remembered for his catch phrases of "keep smiling", "indeed", and "waste not, want not."

He is survived by his brother Peter DiPiro of Cranston and is also survived by many devoted nieces and nephews. He was the brother of the late Damiano C. DiPiro, Giovanna Anna Mansi, Josephine Marietta, Lillian Rufo, and Antonetta DiPiro.
