Diego Damis “encompasses what Hyde Park is,” according to his friend and coworker Sonnie Kireta.
Damis, a relatively recent Italian immigrant, was a regular-turned-bartender at The Cove Lounge in Hyde Park. But he was also a musician, a painter, an avid chess player and a tiramisu expert, according to his family, friends and others who knew him from the well-known watering hole.
