I thought this was all in the past—at least that was the impression that your mom gave on the web site she put up with news last time you were in hospital.All the very best with this. What does this mean for Drexel? John |

Some bad news (Re: Surgery III) |

Posted by mr_brian on Fri Apr 6 12:30:54 2007, in response to Surgery III, posted by R4 Bryn Mawr LCL/R5 Paoli EXP on Mon Apr 2 20:49:18 2007. I received a call this morning from a friend of Dante's family saying that he died during surgery.I was told over the phone that the funeral will take place either Tuesday or Wednesday in Brooklyn. I'm likely going to find out sometime this weekend. I guess take a moment of your time to remember him in any way you see fit. I know I'm going to miss him, and the random hilarity that he always brought with him, a lot. And no, this is a not a joke by any means. I was just as shocked when I was told of this news at around 1145 this morning. |

I unfortunately do not have contact information for most of you and so am obliged to post this here. I am very sorry to have to report that dante passed away yesterday afternoon, during his surgery. Apparently his blood pressure dropped drastically and his heart just stopped. Despite the valiant efforts of his surgical team to revive him, he passed away. There are at this point no final arrangements but as soon as I have those I will email them to whomever wishes to have them and requests them. I will not post them here as I already feel horrid enough having to post this message. My email address for those who wish it is: digitalmuse66@yahoo.com. And to those of you who were his friends and showed him kindness I thank you most sincerely from the bottom of my heart. |

David Gerber called me with the news. He told me to sit down and take a deep breath. I did. I am so shocked.I knew Dante as a friend, a warrior and a good man. I expressed my concern many times as to his blood pressure problems and was hoping for a quick resolve. This untimely end hits me hard. When you mention brain tumor, as you guys know, my wife lost her life that way. I guess they were trying to remove the tumor when his blood pressure failed. May God's grace keep you strong.

She was there at the start of the Ultimate Ride in 2003 and stayed around with us until our ride actually began. The closeness between mother and son was very much evident and inspiring. Ok-- I just sat here 3 minutes blankly trying to compose another line...  That's Dante on the left waiting as the train approaches from the portal (on 3/20/05)... Lord be with our dear friend and keep your hand and spirit upon his family in this time of difficulty... Know Lord, that he was a good man, a caring spirit, and a wonderful dedicated son and friend to those whom knew him... We Pray Lord you will watch over him and watch over us these hours of sadness and longing. To Dante A. God Bless & you'll be missed eternally, brother man. |

He loved posting on sub chat so much and the friendships that he developed through here meant so very much to him...as I just told someone via email - we often do things in life not realizing how our actions impact the lives of others....you guys impacted dante in such a wonderful way - he felt so at home here and LOVED posting here....so much so...that it was the last thing he did...before he went into surgery, was post a message yesterday...he borrowed my treo to post it and i didnt realize it till later....that the reason he asked me for it was so he could post...God bless you all and please keep us in your prayers as this is a very very difficult time for us right now.... |
