#33 Ken DiPrima

I have known Mr. DiPrima since I was a baby! The DiPrima's lived down the street from us in Brandywine Hills. His daughter Trishie was my best friend! To say that the DiPrima's are family friends is an understatement - they are much more like family. I have so many memories with the DiPrima's. I always remember Ken cooking and he always made gingerbread houses at Christmas time. They were the BEST and I always looked forward to seeing what he created! I was so sad when they moved, first out of the neighborhood then to New Jersey and then back to Chicago. But I always loved going to visit them. Ken, Patricia and their daughters are some of the nicest people you will meet and those that have know them are lucky. Ken gave one of the eulogy's at my dad's funeral and it was an honor to have him do so. My dad and Ken were great friends. Ken and Patricia came out to California for my sister's wedding and it was fantastic to have them here! I look forward to seeing them again and hopefully soon! I do miss them and love them dearly!
