TomPeashey Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 For those who don't check out the DCI thread... George Bonfiglio died tonight... His importance to the activity - especially in Massachusetts but everywhere - is historic. To his family and friends and his extended family through IC Reveries/27th Lancers - we share your loss and are amazed that one person could touch the lives of so many people. Anyone's list of who was most influential in this activity - while passing through the greats who are gone, Royer, Seawright, Jones, Costello, Bruni and Petrone and so many more... must now include George Bonfiglio.

ContraRich77 Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 To tell you the truth, all I really knew about George Bonfiglio is that I've seen his name mentioned on DCP about fifty thousand times. To those who knew him, my most heartfelt sympathies. Our drum corps family has suffered a blow this day. Quote
esch Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 A sad day. George was a kind, caring man who worked hard to create a family in his corps, as anyone who spent any time with the Lancers know. My love and sympathies to his family. He played a HUGE part in making drum corps what it is today. Quote
DPEmerald Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Just a great guy as a director and a friend. One of the last of that old guard who had 100 kids a year, and we loved being a part of his family, which the Lancers truly were. It also can't go without saying how grateful we are for his kids who allowed us to invade their house and lives. RIP my friend. We are all better for knowing you. Quote
ironlips Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 I am forever indebted to George Bonfiglio for the opportunity to work with him and the extraordinary performers and staff of his magnificent invention, The 27th Lancers. He was as courageous and forthright a leader as ever there was, in this or any other activity. We were all so very fortunate to have had him touch our lives. Nor will any of us ever forget him. His influence will endure in drum corps so long as anyone sounds a horn, strikes a drum or spins a flag or rifle on the field. Quote
