To Lou, Kathy and Kids,
Thoughts and prayers go to all of you. Although I did not have the pleasure of meeting Mr. Diorio, I often heard the wonderful stories that Lou shared about his Father. My deepest sympathy to the entire Diorio family.
Although I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Diorio only a handful of times, I will always remember a particular grandfatherly act he employed with great skill. We can only hope that we have half his style. Please find comfort in all the great memories you have. Doug Vogel
MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO FAMILY. YOU AND FAMILY WILL BE IN MY PRAYERS.
