Pinto was one of only a couple of DU'ers who came to our home to visit, and he came more than once. He was a wonderful guest. He cooked and swam and told stories and danced. Such a positive and loving spirit.

I am so sorry that he has left us and particularly sad that I did not get to say good bye.

My heart goes out to his family and friends.
