Mr. Robert Donald Carriglitto, 84, of Lewisburg, Tennessee left this life on October 21, 2023. Born in Pottsville, PA, to Albert and Margaret Orf Carriglitto, he graduated from Minersville High School Class of 1956, after which he enlisted in the US Navy.

He also worked in the Naval Hospital NAS Millington as an Emergency Room Coordinator until his final retirement in 1995.

He loved his family and friends beyond words. He was a lifelong fan of the Nittany Lions, Phillies, and Eagles. F-l-y, Eagles, f-l-y!
