Dear Villanova Summer Music Alumni,

It is with a very heavy heart that we share the news that John Dunphy passed away on Thursday afternoon. His health had been waning this summer. This past week, unfortunately, he experienced quite a decline. His family expressed that he’s no longer suffering, and that he is now resting peacefully, which is comforting.

We know his kind soul and dedication to music education had a small impact on all of you and a profound impact on many.

We at Villanova are sad to share that long time Summer Music Staff member, Tony DiToro (affectionately known as Geppetto), passed away on Sunday morning after a valiant battle with Pancreatic Cancer. If Tony was a part of your summer music experience, consider donating to one of the two causes that the family has designated - the Music Program at Gwynedd Mercy Academy or the USArmy TAPS program. Links to the programs are available in the link below.
