Paul Franz wrote a sympathy message

“Didzo was a childhood friend. We played baseball and football together. All summer long from age 9 until 13 we would spend the morning at Skookum Field playing baseball and the afternoon in my back yard (adjoining Didzo’s) playing wiffle ball. It was shaded. Sorry to hear of his passing. I believe he is in a better place! My condolences, Paul Franz [email protected]
