Dino, we were sorry to hear of your passing.  Yesterday we heard lots of stories about your Monday night dinners, family camping trips, what a great Dad you were & what a great Mom Teresa was...great example of what it means to be family...you will surely be missed.  Glad to be related to such a great guy...our love & condolences to Deena, Sandy & Gary...Love, Chuck & Ann (Gasperetti) Thiery

dino, a great guy on and off the pickleball court.  thanks for all the laughs and wise cracks.

Dino, A "what you see is what you got" person--honest, straightforward, funny, always full of life, caring, and loving. Thank you for being in our life.  Love forever, Ann & Earl

Really so sad. The end of an era.  We send our sympathy and prayers. Larry and Karen Gai McDonald

I met Dino 25 years ago playing Pickleball at the Highland Center in Bellevue and he was a hell of a pickleball player.  Dino was a people person, loved to have people around and made friends easily, his wine was home made and great, which he took pride in, I will miss him, Patrick Kane husband of Sandy Borracchine, rest in peace Dino

We only met Dino a short time ago; yet when we met, it was like we knew each other for YEARS !  The man was not only a great human BEING, he was also the highest example of a great human DOING !  Dino couldn't do all the good that the world needed; but the world needed all the good he did all his life !

Dino, a real gentleman, great family man and a good friend of mine.  We followed each other to country dances and had great times together.  My wife
and I always enjoyed Dino's home made wine and many enjoyable meals with the family at their home.  We live in Spokane and will not be able to make the service but our prayers are with the family.  God bless.

Rock, you always had a big smile on your face when speaking of your Dad.  I know you are going to miss him terribly.  When he visited in Surprise, he was always joking and loved to play pickleball.  And what an inspiration he was, running around hitting the pickleball in his 90's!  Our hearts and prayers are with you.

Rock, David and I are sending you our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to you at this time of loss. His memories you have in your heart will always be with you...love David and Nancy

dino will be missed, a lovely  man and heaven will be richer..probably took a pickleball with him..

My thoughts and prayers are with the Borracchini family.

Dino was always so nice to me .  He included me in family dinners, in Christmas celebrations, and many other holidays.
I was a "waif" then, and he took it upon himself to make me one of the family.  Always asking me to come up the table and sit next to him.  He and I seemed like brothers at times, but he never let me beat him in Pickle Ball.  Always a smile on his face and a helping hand when it was needed.  I certainly will miss that smile.

I remember Dino (and Theresa) while growing up, but I remember him more as  an adult.  Dino & Theresa  danced with my Dad, Russ, and his wife Maria.  They were good friends.   They danced and did a lot of activities together.  It was so nice to see them always laughing, telling stories and living a good life,   God love you Dino, I'm sure there is a big dance hall in heaven waiting for you.   Our condolences to the family.   He was a great man.     Mary & Jeff Cote.    Bothell WA

To all the Borracchini family.......
Your Dad was a great man and I will remember him fondly. He was always with a smile and never at a loss for words. 
He is now with his wife of so many years and will be happy forever.....
You guys are in my thoughts and prayers at this sad time.

Dino you're one of the few people I know that reminds me of the great country we lived in . People like you made this world a better place to live in. Your sense of family and love was always present to all who had the pleasure of knowing you .Teresa is blessed to have you sent to her, she's one happy lady I'm sure! for the rest of us, we will always miss you dearly!

Dino will always hold a special place in the hearts of our family.  Dino and my dad grew up together as best friends in the 'Garlic Gulch' neighborhood of Seattle.  They were best man at each others weddings, both marrying beautiful Italian girls named Teresa. As my father Roy was an only child, Dino was a brother to him, and his children Deena, Sandra, and Gary, are like cousins to us. Our families went on many a trailer trip together. Dino was such a kind man, and I remember that there was this special feeling in the air when he would come to visit my dad. We love him and will miss him.

We are deeply saddened by the news of Dino's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Ed Twiford & family

I played pickleball with Dino at the MI rec center.  Dino always had a smile for everyone.  He was positive and always made you feel that he was happy to see you again.
