Not sure what to say?

I Knew DInk for many years. He was always so happy to see me and ralphie. I will miss him very much

My family has lost a a piece of our heart and soul - My father put it best by saying "he never met a stranger" - I am so blessed to have had so many wonderful memories with my Papa - and I too will never forget his greeting - to us "HELLO DER BABY" - He lived a life he chose to live - no one could tell him what to do or how to do it - he definately was one of kind and would give a stranger his last dollar without skipping a beat - I miss you so much Papa -

R.I.P. Papa - you will be missed by many!

To All that knew "Dink" he was a true treasure of a friend, I knew him as a customer of mine for many years at Coronado Market.You always knew when he walked in the door his famous "HELLO DER!!!" was distinct and a welcome sound.
To his family and fried my deepest sympathy this world has lost a unique individual and I a good friend. RIP "DINK"

How generous! I have a picture of him on my fridge with a $10K check from winnings! He had the best luck! I know he will continue to be thought...
