My sympathy to the DiFoggio family. Pleasant memories bring comfort, especially when you see how others have been touched by one you've loved so much. There are times to cry, but it seems like "The Blaster" reminded everyone that there is also times to laugh (Ecclesiastes 3:1-9).

I'll always remember "The Blaster" as he was affectionately known in our house, with his stinky cigar coming in with our father to fix our plumbing or just for a visit. May he rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
