Our sincere condolences to the Vaia family. Dan was such a large presence at the pizza shop, he was a big love bug when he wasn't busy being grumpy lol I miss sharing the new desserts with you and joking around in the pizza shop. I worked there for 5 years and grew close to Dan and miss him, he was just on my mind last week. I know his family is going to him dearly, we all will.
Love, Carol and Sean Clark

Rest in peace, Dan. Sincere condolences to Virgie and Dan’s family.
