My condolences! Dino was a great man that I worked with briefly at SAWS. He was very confident and willing to help others out. He did give me a hard time since I was in the Navy and not the Marine Corps - I did enjoy those conversations. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go to his family.

My deepest condolences to Rose and the entire family. I enjoyed my time working with Dino at the Edwards Aquifer Authority. Dino was a good man and friend. I will miss our lunch conversations about hunting and the great outdoors. Dino will be missed.

Prayers for the entire family. Dr. Anthony Rogers.
