We met at David's and Jenn's wedding. It was such a happy day and we had a great table. Even though we just met, we all took a liking to each other. We talked about dining out together but as things would have the pandemic started. Regret we never had that opportunity to get to know each other more. Our deepest sympathies to the Dion Family.

Sorry to hear of Ken's passing. I played against Ken in 1960 in the Uxbridge Little League. He had a great fastball!
