Dr. Giampaolo was the son of the late Ciro and Giorgina (Cataudella) Giampaolo.
Dr. Giampaolo practiced medicine for more than 45 years. He retired as Chairman, Department of Pathology, South County Hospital, Wakefield RI, where he served on the Executive Committee. After retiring in 2010, he continued a private pathology practice until 2016. Previously, Dr. Giampaolo served as Chairman, Department of Pathology, St. Elizabeth Hospital, Elizabeth, NJ; Associate Director of Pathology and Director, Pathology Residency Program, Mercy Hospital, Chicago; and Assistant Chief of Pathology, Boston City Hospital, among other positions. Dr. Giampaolo also worked as an Anatomic Pathologist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC, where he served after being drafted and deferring for education, achieving the rank of Major.
Dr. Giampaolo particularly loved working with medical residents and students and sharing his knowledge. He held numerous academic appointments, including: Clinical Associate Professor of Pathology at University of Illinois School of Medicine; Associate Professor at Boston University School of Medicine; and at Mallory Institute of Pathology.
Dr, Giampaolo was an exceptional student who earned his medical degree at the University of Chicago and completed his residency at Harvard-affiliated hospitals in Boston. He earned his B.S. in mathematics, magna cum laude, at University of Notre Dame, South Bend, IN. He ranked first in his class at Xavier High School in New York City. Dr. Giampaolo had an amazing memory and could recall virtually everything he had ever learned, although he would say that he could not. He continues to be an inspiration to his family.
