To a man who loved his family very much and showed how to love and care for others. A quiet but powerful man who I hope I can somehow follow his example. God bless you Dad, Rest in Peace, for you did your job well. Your son-in-law, Joe. Joe Freach, Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania

Yesterday I lit a candle in Hexham Abbey in memory of my longtime neighbour, Dick DiNolfo. Dick was a very caring individual, a trusted neighbour, "Fellow Farmer" to my husband, Mark, but most of all, a true and generous friend. I am very saddened by his loss. Dick will be greatly missed.
My heartfelt sympathies to the DiNolfo family.
