RIP Dick DiCenso

[ED_W]

From DiCenso's Drumshop:
We are so sad to announce that our dear friend, colleague, and mentor to countless drummers, Dick DiCenso, passed away Friday morning after a battle with leukemia.
"Dickie" was an amazing man, who touched so many lives in so many ways. He was a most modest and humble teacher, quietly making his mark on so many young drummers, and not so young drummers. Our shop will never be the same. We will miss him dearly.
The DiCenso Family wishes to inform everyone that there will be services at Sweeney Brothers Funeral Home, in Quincy, Massachusetts, from 4 to 8 PM on Friday, May 13th.
The family has asked for privacy before the wake during this sad and difficult time.

I'm will miss Dick having been a student of his,friend and instructor with him at the shop. He was a terrific drummer, mentor and a very kind and gentle man.
