Likes his incredible Daddy-o, Dino Jr. was a renaissance man of extraordinary talents.....singer, actor, tennis pro, pilot. Dino Jr. was destined to become heir apparent to the throne of our King of Cool, but likes that was so so tragicly cut short by the crash of the jet on that darkest of dark days in the life of our Dino.
The demise of Dino Jr. began the demise of our Dino himself. Our great man simply lost the will to live without his prodigy by his side. Truth be told, probably the only man that our Dino looked up to was his beloved namesake Dino Jr.
Below is a picture of Dino Jr.'s gravesite and a bit of information on Dino Jr. and the location of the grave. We thanks the pad Seeing Stars for this picture and information. To checks this out in it's original format, as usual, just click on the tag of these Dino-reflections. Also included below is a brief footage of the memorial service for Dino Jr.
We remain,
Yours In Dino,
Dino Martin Peters

Sad day in Dino's life. I can't imagine the pain the family felt.

The saddest of days for our Dino.
Hey pallies, likes Eddie-o and Miss AOW....very very sad day, but we were encouraged by a statement that our Dino made in an interview sometime after Dino Jr.'s death. He said that he and Jeanne were both fatalists, which means that they somehow some way accepted Dino Jr. fate.
Keeps lovin' our most beloved Dino!
