So sorry to hear of Mr. DiVernieri's passing. My late aunt resided in the room next to him at Schaffer and I would stop and speak to him when I visited. We also talked about his brother's children - I grew up in Mt. Vernon and went to school with his nephew, John. He was a very nice and kind man. God bless him - may he rest in peace.
