The John E. Fogarty Memorial Building, of 111 Fountain Street, Providence, passed away on Monday, March 13 after a protracted and debilitating illness. It was 49 years old and was the beloved child of the Rhode Island architecture firm Castellucci, Galli & Planka Associates.

Eulogies will be delivered by some who knew the Fogarty best, including architectural historian Marisa Brown, architecture critic David Brussat, historian Ned Connors, Jana Planka (daughter of the lead architect) and others. All are welcome to share their memories as well. Following the eulogies, there will be a procession around the open casket followed by drinks at a nearby watering hole.
