I recall fondly Ann and Dorian as they first arrived in the area. I met them at my grandfather's store, Paul Fata's and then later and my store, Castellani's Market. I always highly respected Dorian. My sympathy to all.

I am terribly sorry to hear of your father's passing. I remember the dinner we all shared a few years ago. He impressed me as a true gentleman and a scholar. I saw him through the prism that is you. From that I know that he must have been a fine man. I hope your fond memories of him will soon alleviate the pain of losing him.
