Lit a candle in memory of Jeffrey Armstrong Dinan
Jeff was my very first friend when I was about 3 years old on Oakdale Road. I can still remember a lot of stuff from back then. My brother Steve told me about how he by chance ran into Jeff on the Cashie River in a canoe. Both had changed since the last saw each other, so they only recognized each other after talking for a while. I often thought about how I wish had been there to see Jeff after 40 years. I’ve got a photo I’ll put up of me and Jeff and a few other neighborhood kids with my dog Friskey and I think her 13 puppies. Jeff, sorry I missed you on the river, I wanted to see you again.
my name is ricky ezzell and I went through the 7th8th9th10th11th and 12th grade with Jeff. He was a good person, I also knew his older brother John Dinan. In 1968 we were in the hospitial he had appendicitis operation.I had a broken leg in traction. I met his parents very nice people, his father came in the hospital room one day. He handed me a gift and I opened it. It was an etch or scatch,I really appreciated it.In the 7th grade Jeff taught me how to unlock my combination lock for my locker.I have good memories of The Dinan Family.I am very sorry for their loss.I wish God’s best for them. Sincerely, Ricky V. Ezzell
