After living in the neighborhood for over 38 years I still have not a better person than Donato Deserio. The world needs more people like him, he was truly a unique and special person. I smile so big when I think of him talking to me and my children. God did his best work when he created Donato. Thank you for your friendship. God bless him. Wanda Carrasco.
