    Chris and family, I remember when Dink used to hang around with my brother, Frog, and all of their friends. What a rowdy bunch they were back then! Oh, to think of the reunion some of these guys are having right now! They’d probably want us to have a big bash in their honor! I miss my brother every day, as I know you’ll miss your’s, but take comfort in knowing that he’s with his loved ones that have passed before him.

    We’ve lived across the street from “Dink” and his family since May of 1988; 27 years. He truly had a “heart of gold”. We will miss him and not having his “truck of many colors” parked outside! haha Always busy around the house. Always smiling and inquiring about our family whenever we’d see each other outside getting the mail, etc. Our sympathies to the family and especially Ian…..
