Well nice idea, but I think we would all rather be further apart and still have Dante around....but the truth is, I really am a believe in "there's a reason for everything", and there is a reason for this...we just may not know what it is, and his family may not know what it is, but there is a reason. |

Yes, unless some traditions count the date of passing as the sunset "after" the incident of passing. i.e. Thursday's "sunset" would lead to Friday the 6th. Hence, it could be stated his last "sunset" was on the 5th and his first day in transition to the new life would be the 6th. It could depend on the background and traditions in practice. |

Thank you for scanning the program. I meant to bring one home, but accidentally left it on a table in the church basement. This way everyone else in the house can see it.It was very touching that someone thought to put clippings of Subchat posts mourning Dante in the program. |

Me too, but actually, in my case it was the Broadway Junction photos. I am just so surprised at myself over the last week how this has really effected me. I never thought I would feel so bad for someone passing that I only met a few times, and through the rest of the "knowing" through an internet board. |

Posted by Howard Fein on Thu Apr 12 13:27:53 2007, in response to A Touching Service for Dante, posted by BMT Guy on Wed Apr 11 22:11:38 2007. This was the first service of this type that I ever attended. Prior to this I always typecast funerals as a half-hour of Hebrew (or 45 minutes of English with a little Latin) followed by going to someone's house for Entenmann's.The energy of the chorus, the clergy and the singers was remarkable. The various eulogies were a nice mix of sadness and humor- especially Dante's teacher recalling his nonconformity during gym class. All of the participants went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Tragic as this occasion is, the huge turnout of Subchatters must have been a huge comfort to friends, family and each other. The suitably bizarre pilgrimage of Broadway Junction afterwards was in keeping with the strength of the railfan community. As usual, there were plenty of puzzled looks from innocent bystanders on the bus, the J train, the platform and especially the bodega. Green Hawaiian Punch, anyone? |

The service was wonderful, as well as the tributes by all.Learned a bit more about Dante, given insight by his family and teacher Was a pleasure to meet up with Dante's mother, just sorry it took her son's death for it to happen. Also had the pleasure of meeting and shaking hands with: chuchubob, fredg, G1Ravage, BMTman, howard feinman,Terrapin Station Next time we see each other will hopefully be for a much more pleasant reason. |

And that's in light of the fact that you're an old fogey without AOL IM and the rest of us young'ns do have it and we used to talk to Dante every night in the SubChat transit chatroom. So after talking to him almost daily for YEARS, you can imagine how bad I (we) feel. |

And if I FEEL like this only knowing him from the few times I talked with and met him, and of course from SubChat....I can only imagine the loss from people that knew him even better. |

East NY Transit TechAn excellent school with a high graduation rate and one of the ways a New Yorker can make something of himself/herself. Dante set an example for others in this school. There are graduates who have followed his example and are making their special contributions to the world. |

At the rate things are going, the Facebook group honoring Dante (currently at 76 members) will have more people than Dante had on his friends list (he has/had 90 friends). If that happens, that will be amazing in itself. |

Dunno, I wouldn't see anything wrong with putting a small sign noting the correction next to the pile of Tribute pamphlets or even making a quick mention of it at the beginning of the service. But of course you don't HAVE to. It is totally up to the family. I just wanted to have the correct date for purposes of, say, adding it to my website. |
