December 23, 1943 �" August 16, 2011
Peaceful and surrounded by close friends and angels, Dismas left us quickly as he was "hurrying to Heaven." A practicing ordained Orthodox Christian priest, skillful artist, lover of nature, gardener and true friend, he was loved by many people in various communities. He served God by helping others with cooking, sharing whatever he had, advocating for the vulnerable, giving spiritual counseling and celebration, creating beautiful icon paintings, and more. He cared for and was loved by many animals. With him we laughed, debated, worked, worshiped, played, shared love, wonder, and pleasure.
