Condolences

    My most sincere condolences to the family and friends of Skeets. I grew up in Overbrook and was raised on DiCarlo's Pizza. Growing up, I can remember playing baseball in Overbrook School's ball field next to DiCarlos, looking forward to some pizza afterwards. Walking in, Skeets always greeted you with a kind word and smile, I'd order 2 cuts with pepperoni, he made sure I received my favorite corner or end pieces that were extra crispy, in my box were always 3 cuts. Skeets always took care of the neighborhood kids, his pizza shop was a safe place to hang out and talk for a while. He was a good man, a kind man and a friend. He'll be missed.
