Louisa & John, I'm very sorry to hear of Dino's passing. He brought so much happiness to so many of Barre's youth. Especially during his Little League & Babe Ruth Baseball years. He not only taught us the game but taught us so many life lessons, as well. His love of baseball rubbed off on all of us that had the pleasure of knowing his passion for the game. He also, had a great sense of humor and I was fortunate to have known him for so many years. My deepest condolences go out to all of the Pellegrini family. May he rest in peace!
