Dino
« on: April 26, 2013, 07:41:47 PM »
I meant to post this a few weeks ago and not sure if someone else has and I missed it.

Basically my parents got word a few weeks ago from friends in the village that Dino (car hire) has died.   Apparently they think it was a heart attack.

For those that knew Dino, he was a lovely guy and not that old either so it has been a bit of a shock for the SS residents.

Anyway just wanted to let you know if you didnt already  :'(

That is sad news.  I knew Dino well and have also hired cars from him in the distant past.

My condolences to his family, he will be missed.

That is the end of an era.

He was always a rich source of information/stories/gossip and ouzo.

Hiring a car from him was always a hugely entertaining experience. The cars were always average, but it didn't matter because the paperwork transaction alone was worth it. Anyone who uses pre 1960's carbon paper and ouzo as business tools gets my vote.

The negotiations at the Pearly Gates would have been complex, but rest assured he'd be successful, and they would let him in.

That corner of San Stef will be forever Dino's.
