This post is a little late, but my family and I just recently found out that Dante passed away. We are deeply saddened for your loss. Ogunquit Beach will not be the same without Dante. Our family met Dante and his family as being regulars every summer in Ogunquit. We will miss his wonderful humor, laugh and endless stories. Rest in Peace, Dante. You will be missed by all whose lives you touched. With deepest sympathy, Paul Eichelroth and Famiy

Dearest Marilyn, Camille, Ella, Bochie and family, There are not enough words to express our sorrow for your loss, as Dante was one of our favorite people - not only as a relative, but as an overall person. So many memories of his humor and his smile, and always making someone feel loved and special. I (Sharon) remember him lifting me up as a young child and always making me feel that way, long before I became a DiFronzo :), and that feeling was always there, always the same, through the years. We will both surely cherish our memories of Dante and we send our deepest, heartfelt sympathies to all, as well as our love. Always, Sharon & Ricky (Rico)

Dear Camille, Ella,and Bochie and Family, So sorry for the loss of your beautiful brother Dante. He was a great guy. Growing up I always remember him walking up Salem Street, a great dresser. My Dad loved him too. Now they are in heaven together. May he rest in Peace. Carol Prezioso (Moschella) Junior's daughter
