I was deeply saddened to hear about Don’s passing. He was a true pillar of Mildura, but to me personally, he was an extraordinary mentor and a profound influence on my life. His warmth, wisdom, and encouragement left a mark on my journey that I will carry with me forever. Sending my love, strength, and deepest condolences to the Carrazza/Di Pieri family during this time. 💐🕊
