Dear Miss Joanie,We are very saddened to hear of the passing of Jimbo, we are so sorry for your loss. Never knew he served in Nam, or that he had lost an infant son, those had to be tough on him, yet he was a very friendly and likable guy, outgoing and jovial. We will miss him and seeing the two of you out on poker runs and riding your Harleys together. He is gone too soon. May he ride the sunny sky and dive the deep blue waters to his hearts content, and may you find peace and solace in your memories of your time together. Mom always thought you were very nice and likes having you as a neighbor, so feel free to visit her anytime you feel like talking to someone or just having coffee, she is very saddened as well for what has happened. If you ever need anything that I can help you with please just ask and Ill see what I can do. Dave & Sue Van Cleve

I knew "Dino" since we were kids. He taught me about life - cars, women, beer and diving. He changed my life and I am a better person to have known him. He was my friend who I will always remember. My deepest condolences to family and other friends.PK
