My heart goes out to the DiNatale Family on the passing of a man that put family before anything else. A man of true conviction. I have never had the privilege of meeting Mr. DiNatale, but had the pleasure of speaking with him on the phone several times. He sound like quite a character that reminded me of my own father. I know that his wife, son, daughter -in-law and grandchildren will miss him dearly for he loved each of you unconditionally and you loved him back in the same way. He took care of his own. Though you may not see him physically, he still lives in each of you. Please take comfort knowing that he is at peace now. I love all of you as though you were my family and I am here for you when needed. God Bless you, Regina
