On July 23, 2018, at 4:15 P.M., Dr. Jack (Giacomo) Calcedonio Castrogiovanni M.D., J.D., F.C.L.M., rejoined his parents, Mr. Nick Giacomo Castrogiovanni and Mrs. Dora Mazzola Castrogiovanni, and his two sisters, Josephine Propper and Victoria Kattine, in God's Kingdom. He was a devout Catholic. He was 94. He leaves behind an adoring and loving family: His wife of fifty-two years, Carrie Arvello Castrgiovanni, and his four children, Nicholas Brazil Castrogiovanni, Jeanine Elizabeth Castrogiovanni-Burgan (Ryan), Jacquelyn Caroline Castrogiovanni-Migdal (John), and Giacomo Antonio Castrogiovanni (Jordan). His posterity includes three grandchildren, Marley Grace Migdal, Miles Edward Migdal, and Jack (Giacomo) Calcedonio Castrogiovanni, II. Dr. Jack was born in New Orleans on June 17, 1924, and was a highly accomplished physician, attorney, athlete, World War II veteran (where he served in the Navy in the Pacific Theatre), published scholar, lecturer, and clinical associate professor of medicine at Tulane University. He graduated from Warren Easton Boy's High School in 1940 at the age of 15, and was a Y.M.C.A. Senior Gymnastics Winner (Gold Medalist) and an N.A.A.U. Gymnastics Winner (Bronze Medalist), before enlisting into the United States Navy in 1942. He was a true patriot. His military honors include recognition for his work as a Navy Combat Corpsman in the Asiatic Pacific Theatre, where he received the Asiatic Pacific Campaign Medal (Two Bronze Stars), the Philippine Liberation Medal (One Bronze Star), the Combat Action Medal, the Presidential Unit Citation for the Philippines, the American Theater Campaign Medal, the Good Conduct Medal, and the World War II Victory Medal. He saw combat as a Corpsman with the First Marine Division, Second Battalion, Fleet Marine Corp. in Tacloban Bay, Leyte, the Philippine Islands, Guian, Samar, Luzon, Iwo Jima, and served in Technical Air Intelligence for the Seventh Fleet Logistics Section in the Division of the Southwest Pacific. After the war, Dr. Jack attended L.S.U. for his undergraduate degree, finishing in 1950 with a B.S. in Chemistry. He graduated Tulane University School of Law with a Juris Doctor and was admitted to the Louisiana Bar for practice in 1956. He graduated Tulane University School of Medicine in 1961, earning his Doctorate of Medicine, and went on to do his residency at Charity Hospital New Orleans. He served as the Clinical Director of Medicine at Huey P. Long Charity Hospital in Alexandria, LA, as Clinical Director of Medicine at Lallie Kemp Charity Hospital in Independence, LA, as the President and Chief of Staff at Mercy Hospital in New Orleans, as the Chairman of the Department of Medicine for Mercy Hospital in New Orleans, as the Chairman of the Board of Health in New Orleans, and held various other positions of Honor, including as the moderator of the Mercy Hospital Community Medical Lecture Series, which he initiated, bringing medical knowledge to the community at large. His scholarly articles, written papers, and delivered lectures are too numerous to count. He is also the author of an unpublished book, The Inquest, and at the time of his death was working on a collection of vignettes. Dr. Jack, as he was affectionately known by his patients and friends, gave 51 years to the practice of medicine, retiring in July of 2012 at the age of 88 to spend more time with his family in his last years. He loved his family first and foremost, was known for his generosity and strong relationships with his friends, and was well respected by all who knew him. More than any of his varied accomplishments, he cherished his role as a father the most. When he had his own family he poured his entire soul into their well-being. He was successful in every aspect of his life, but so much more successful in spirit and in love. He never backed down from a challenge, even at the end of his life, and never stood idly by when he could do something he felt he should. He was a real renaissance man in every sense, as he embraced, even in his old age, not only books and literature and music and art, but also technology, electronics and computers and automobiles. He had a mind that was truly once in a generation, and yet he remained a humble and gracious man: ever kind, ever interested in others, ever willing to talk and share himself and his knowledge and experience, and ever patient and loving with his family. His last years were difficult due to health concerns, but throughout it all he wore a brave face, and pushed himself to enjoy his life and his loved ones. Despite his difficulties, he fought through everything, and in the end he died a warrior's death, never ceasing to attempt to move forward, and never giving up. To know him was to love him, and he you. He will be well-remembered, and badly missed. Family and friends are invited to attend the Evening Visitation on Sunday, July 29, 2018 from 4:00 pm until 8:00 pm at JACOB SCHOEN & SON, 3827 Canal Street, New Orleans, LA. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 2:00 pm on Monday, July 30, 2018 at St. Dominic Catholic Church, 775 Harrison Ave., New Orleans, LA. Visitation will begin at 11:00 am and continue until Mass time. Interment will follow in Lake Lawn Park.
