Dino at Eureka Springs 2005 with his Nomad and his bible. That was the rally many of us personally met Dino.
He prayed for me (Coyote) at that rally. Don't know if it will do any good, but, I can't think of a better
personal reference in heaven than Dino.
Thanks to Donna "Blondy" Robinson for the picture.

Dino was a man who truly lived his faith. He was well known for his "Sunday Morning Hope" posts on the VROC forums. He had a great love of life, family, and friends, and everyone was his friend. He will be missed by all who knew him.

From Eric "El Nomad" Larsen VROC# 12592
Dino "Lefty" Hutchings, VROC #3253, went to be with Jesus this morning at 11:20 Ft. Smith, AR time. Our family will miss his visits on his way to Sturgis. A wonderful Godly man, Dino prayed constantly for everyone. We now pray for Dino's family and the comforting presence of Jesus.

I first met Dino at Eureka Springs '05. I had missed the prayer service he had the one morning but I saw him shortly after that. I had told him about losing my wife, Belinda, the year before and was having a difficult time still with her passing. As Dino was always doing he prayed for me and made me feel better. I consider him my first real influence into my journey to where I'm at today in my faith.

We shall meet again, Dino!
