Dig's Diner

It will be a sad day when Dig's Diner closes. It's already a sad time, just thinking about it.
I have been patronizing Dig's since the day I moved from Leesburg to Warsaw 15 years ago. Dig's is like a second home to me, and I'll bet that many of his other patrons would say the same thing.
The first time I called on Dig's, Nanette waited on me. She was so friendly and gracious, and one of the first things she said to me was, "Welcome to Warsaw." Bill and Nanette Degaetano are truly wonderful, kind, generous human beings. They have been very considerate of me, and I know that Bill doesn't want me to say it, but he has always shown a very generous and thoughtful attitude toward all of his patrons. He, and Nanette, have forever done their best to make every customer feel welcome and at home in their place of business.
I, for one, have not only enjoyed the delicious food and delightful atmosphere at Dig's, but I have also had the opportunity to be introduced to some very special people there, including that very charming and graceful couple, Nanette's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Al Rovenstine. Then there are Bill's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Degaetano, who are also lovely people. At Dig's, I have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. and Mrs. Gerard, who are warm, friendly individuals. (He is the son of the late Alee Gerard, the brilliant artist.)
Now, I must put in a good word for all of those unusually fine waitresses that Bill has employed in past years, including those sweet school kids who work Friday evenings. Those beautiful dolls always greet everyone with a smile, and offer their best service to each and every patron who comes in the restaurant. I also wish to pay a word of tribute to that terrific waitress who serves us breakfast every morning, Mary Lou, who, I understand, has been in Bill's employment for the past 15 or 20 years. Mary Lou is a very special lady who is not only an expert in her work, but is so nice to have in one's presence.
In closing, let me say once again that I'm sure all of Bill's and Nanette's patrons will be truly grieved to see them give up their very fine restaurant to another party. No matter how grand or capable that party may turn out to be, they can never, ever take the place of our beloved cohorts, Bill and Nanette Degaetano, who will be sorely missed by all of their loyal friends and customers.
