Virginian-Pilot  July 26, 2015
Virginia Beach - Augustine "Gus" F. Riganto, 82, died peacefully at his home in 
Indialantic, FL, on July 21, 2015. He was born in Norfolk, VA, to Frank and 
Angelina (nee Chinchello) Riganto. He was predeceased by his parents and brother, 
Maury Riganto, and sister, Louise Favalora. A graduate of Maury High School in 
Norfolk, Virginia, Gus served in the U. S. Air Force before and during the Korean 
Conflict. After his military service, he became a restaurateur in the Virginia 
Beach area for over 30 years, owning and operating Angelina's, Caesar's on the 
Beach, and White Sands Catering. In 1991, he retired to Central Florida where he 
quickly came out of retirement to manage Molly's, a restaurant in Indian Harbour 
Beach, FL, where he organized The Hartmann-Flagg Auction, a high profile area-wide 
benefit for 2 local policemen killed in the line of duty. Gus later managed The 
Chatterbox, a nightclub in Melbourne, FL, and thereafter a shopping mall, The 
Village Shoppes of Paradise Beach, for the Cappelli Family of Valhalla, NY. He was 
an avid sports fan all his life and particularly enjoyed fishing and traveling. 
Gus is survived by his wife of 22 years, Theresa "Terry" Ognosky Riganto. Other 
surviving family members are a son, Frank Riganto II, as well as a grandson, Frank 
Riganto III, both of Virginia Beach; a sister, Catherine Lipoli, of Norfolk and 
numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. In accordance with Gus' wishes, there will 
be no viewing. The family will receive friends at noon preceding the 1:00 PM 
memorial mass at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Norfolk, Virginia, on Saturday, 
August 1. Interment will follow the mass at St. Mary's Cemetery in Norfolk, 
Virginia. H. D. Oliver Funeral Apts., Norfolk Chapel is handling arrangements.
