As Margie says, he was a legend and helped build the computational capability of Dahlgren in K-Lab laying a cornerstone in Dahlgren’s continuing reinventions to meet the Navy needs throughout the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. May he rest in peace and his family take solace in the fact that he did “make a difference”.

Dr. DiDonato was and will remain a Dahlgren legend. He was unsurpassed to developing computations in support of the Navy, was a mentor, and an inspiration to anyone watched him on the tennis courts way, especially during his senior years. His dedication to his work exemplified what became known as Dahlgren DNA. Prayers go out to his wife and all the family.
