This saddens me, I had no idea. I had been wondering how or what may have happened to Deano as he was called at work, We worked in the Printing area for Mich-Con back ih the 80's, He at that time lived with his Mom near Square Lake Rd and Woodward ave. Sometimes Dean and I would hang out at my home in Pontiac, He was always a cut up and cheerful kind of guy. Was so sad to find his obituary and that he passed so young. Will always remember you Deano and your friendship. Please RIP and know that you have really left a vancacy.

Dino always had a smile on his face and a thoughtful word for all. From the 'Old" days at Brightmoor to the present, he had an uncanny ability to show us the world through his eyes.

Blessings to all his loved ones.
