I knew "Mr. DeMino" during the 10 years I worked as a secretary in the executive office of Peoples Drug Stores -- some 33 years ago, but memories of him are just as clear today. He was always kind and pleasant and caring to everyone - never too busy to say hello and make you feel just a little bit special. He was one of the gems of this life and I know will be sorely missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with you all -- no doubt he's up there smiling down on all of you. May he rest with the angels.

Dear Dolores and Joe,
I have to reflect back about 35 years to remember all that I can of your husband and father. We spent a lot of time together at the MPhA, especially in Ocean City at meetings. Phyllis and my son Neil remember all of you and every one of us is sad about the passing of Len. He was a giant in the profession and a true gentleman. Even when we saw things from different points of view we understood each other.
