And I am in a state of shock, receiving this news now. He was a wonderful man. Remember his Shakespeare class? It was a hoot. And the Modern European novel? Good times. I was trying to contact him to let him know that I was going to librarian school (he was an awesome librarian at Johns Hopkins University in Bologna). I owe a lot to him, and think of our conversations often. I only took three of his classes in one year--one of which I was the only student. I feel very fortunate to have spent this time with him.
He had had heart problems for some time, and was in hospital when things suddenly got worse and he passed away, without knowing what was happening.
If any of you are reading this, send me any memories of DiMarino you might have.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine:
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
