The last time I was him was at my brothers wife, Gloria's funeral this past January. He flew in fron AZ and was as grief stricken as any of us.
On the brighter side we always had tiime for his fans. This was evident when ever we went out for dinner in Chicago as he was very popular as he did several commercials for local companies as well as local plays such as Bleacher Bums!
We are waiting to hear of funeral arrangements! May he rest in peace with family members who have gone before him in Christ!

RIP........Dennis Farina.......and thank you for the nice memories
