Hard to believe 10 years have passed. I often think about Dino. He played such a positive role in my life. I miss him.

I have so many great memories of Dino when we were growing up and all the activities we were a part of at our church, St. Catherine's. Dino was beautiful inside and out and has left a huge void in the lives of his family and friends. May his memory be eternal.

Very sorry to hear about Dino's passing. As a fellow antique car owner, he and I used to see each other at the different annual car shows in Stuart, Florida and at the Vero Beach car show ( Under The Oaks ). He bought a 1957 (Blue) Cadillac from one of our club members, years ago. He was driving this car the last time I saw him. We always would stop and talk with each other about old cars and other owners at these car shows. He was a good person and a nice car guy.
We will miss him and his wonderful smile at future antique car shows.

We were so sorry to hear of Dino's passing. Dino and my husband were friends for many years and then I met him. He was such an outgoing person. He was in Mike's and our wedding. We saw him not to long ago at a car show. He was so excited to see my husband still had the 58 Chevy they all use to go out in. They were parked across from each other and talked about all the good times they had growing up together. Dino will really be missed. He was a great guy and we were glad we got to see him again. You will be truly misssed. Mike and Judy Sardino

I am one of the loving clients who also called Dino my friend. He and I met in 1978 and enjoyed many special moments of laughter and meaningful conversation together. Dino cut my 21 year old daughter's hair for the first time. She cried and Dino brought her a stuffed animal to hold and he tried to make her laugh. When I went through my divorce, Dino took time to allow me to vent and provided me with solid feedback. We shared so many events together through the years. I am going to miss Dino and I know that I am not the only one who will. I offer my deepest condolences to Roger and to Dino's family and friends. It is hard to imagine that Dino is no longer with us. He left this world much too soon.
