Anthony Digioia’s Death and Obituary Born on August 24, 1934, in Pittsburgh’s Lincoln-Lemington neighborhood, Anthony M. DiGioia Jr., Ph.D., was raised above his father’s tailor shop, which was owned by immigrants. He became well-known for his engineering and business acumen. He had three siblings, went to Central Catholic High School, played summer baseball, and was known as “Dietz” when he played second base, according to family members. In 1956, Tony and Carole Kerr were married in Corpus Christi, Texas, where Tony originally met Kerr on Lincoln Avenue.

With his camera, he documented many years of birthdays, family vacations, and other noteworthy events. He was happy since these recordings brought back memories of Lincoln Avenue and his family’s Penn Hills home. He majored in engineering at Carnegie Institute of Technology, which is now Carnegie Mellon. During his PhD, master’s, and bachelor’s degrees in civil engineering, he enlisted in CMU’s Army Reserve Officer Training Corps. He enlisted in the Army Corps of Engineers in 1961 after being called up as an infantryman during the Berlin Crisis.

The tight-knit neighborhood of Lincoln Avenue was the center of his life. Dietz made friends with powerful political and economic families while founding The Old Neighbor’s Community Picnic. In that town, he met his wife Carole Kerr, 54, who passed away in 2010, and his wife Pat Clair, 7, who lives on and survived him. Elio D’Appolonia, a professor at CMU, employed Doctor DiGioia and his student Dick Gray. Founded by Dr. DiGioia and Mr. Gray, General Analytics Inc. (later renamed GAI) offered consulting services for energy, transportation, development, government, and industry.

Anthony Digioia, you will always be remembered with love by those who had the honor of knowing you. You are sincerely missed. Peace be with you, my friend, and may your soul always brighten our days as we cherish the happiness and love you gave us.
