I met "Dino" at Mandy and Greg's wedding. We were standing together in the receiving line and I was introducing him to friends and family as Greg's stepdad. After a little while, Dino informed me that he was not Greg's stepfather, but that he was Greg's Dad. My mistake Dino. Rest in peace. You were truly loved by Greg, Mandy, Charlie, and Jack.
I will miss everything about Dino. He was an excellent Pop and Pappou and one of my top two father in laws of all time. (He always said I was his favorite daughter in law). Dino used to tease me about being a female driver and thought my red white and blue light up wig for Memorial Day was very silly, but he always teased with love. He was a good man, and I'm happy to have known him. His funeral was beautiful, calm and peaceful, and I know that Dino is somewhere fishing with his brother Nick eating spinach pie that his sister Agatha brought to him. Rest easy, Dino. We love you.
I remember whenever I went to my grandfather’s house, he would always put a strawberry milk bottle in his fridge for me because he knew that it was my favorite drink.
