For such a short man, “Papa D” towered over us all with his kindness, his smile and his devotion to his wife and family. He has been one of my role models in raising my family.
Images of him with his fig trees and of him and his buddies playing cards and drinking homemade wine at the house upstate are forever etched in my memory.
God speed and peace until we all meet again!
