Cougar Pantry Donations to Honor Provost’s Husband

The family of Tom DiLorenzo, the husband of College of Charleston Provost Suzanne Austin, requests that, in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions be made to the College of Charleston Cougar Pantry.

Tom DiLorenzo

DiLorenzo, 63, died on July 17, 2020, as the result of a tragic crime. According to an obituary honoring his life, DiLorenzo “loved cooking and traveling,” which inspired his family’s request for donations to the Cougar Pantry. Donations may also be made in his memory to the UAB Blazer Kitchen or the UND Food for Thought Pantry.
