Mike DiFuccia, R.I.P.

My mother & I received an e-mail yesterday from our former neighbor and associate, Jim DeYoung. The message read thusly:

Mr. Mike Difuccia, the executive director of the Buchanan Center for the past nine years, suffered a massive heart attack over the weekend and passed away. Funeral arrangements are incomplete at this time, but I will get you information as soon as I have any more details.

Mike was a good man, and a very good administrator for the Buchanan Center for the Arts, here in Monmouth. He will be sorely missed.


Update, Wednesday, 26 September: Services are this evening, up in Port Byron, IL. For further information, see here.
