Pam Bedour
Dear Sally, Chad, Richard and families, and the Dickert/Dietrich families,
I have so many good memories of time spent with Dino; he was a great guy and a lot of fun to be around. More recently our connection was mostly through conversations with him sitting on his porch. He always had a wave and a big smile, visible even from his perch sitting in his snowplow. I know how much you’ll miss him and my heart goes out to all of you. Truly, I was afraid he was going to meet his demise 30 years ago in a shopping cart accident in Detroit. I can still picture him with his arms and legs hanging over the sides as it careened towards Gratiot Ave…
Sending much love and hugs to all of you,
Pam
