Dino was a Veteran of the U.S. Army and was assigned to the 7867 QM Depot Group in France from 1951 to 1953. He was a lifetime member and former Jr. Vice Commander of VFW 8808 Vestal, NY, and a member of the American Legion Post 80, Binghamton, NY. He was very proud of his military service.
After serving in the military, Dino returned to the Binghamton area and started work at Link Flight Simulation where he worked for 43 years. He enjoyed his position as the company chauffeur escorting and entertaining company executives, customers, and dignitaries. His retirement didn’t last long as he subsequently went to work for Maines Paper & Food in a similar capacity for another 10 years.
He enjoyed time with his family especially his grandchildren. Dino spent his summers on his boats The Grand Wazoo and Dino’s Dolly on Cayuga lake. He was blessed with the gift of gab and found and made friends no matter where he went. He will be missed.
