The days with you here are now gone. I long for those days and now cherish them more than ever. Every memory brings a tear and a smile. An extreme of emotions but at least they are real. I'll take all of them. It just shows me how much I loved you and how much I miss. I will only allow this tragedy to bring forth good. It has to be. You were too amazing a man for it not to be. I am and always will be your number one fan.

Dom, It has been 15 years since I have seen you and now here I am and it's too late. Everyday I thought maybe I will call you tomorrow and just never did. And for that I feel so remorseful. Perhaps I had called you just once and maybe things could have been different today, the guilt is emmense, I apoligize with every thing I have, not sure what happened.
At one point I thought we were nearly brothers. We met in 8th grade when coach Muller paired us up on the wrestling team, you and I the smallest. Best friends we became. We worked that summer at Alba bakery together for $1.75 per hour, when we demanded $2.00 we were fired. All through high school your parents watched over me, both, so caring. For that I am so grateful.
We were inseparable. We spent nearly every day together at the Mineola apartment and bouncing around Willy Park.
We joined the miltary together and would write to each other in boot camp. I think I still have those letters on the Navy stationary.
Our animal house on Charles Street was some of the best times anyone could have. The dart league, the halloween parties, the super bowl parties and all the other, just for fun parties. I miss it all so much and I miss you.
Dominic, be at peace, forgive me please. I love you, brother.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith, George, Donna, Leslie, family and friends I am so deeply sorry.

Hey Dombo, it's Dicky boy. Just been getting my thoughts together this past week, I wish I knew what was going on these last few years my old friend. It got me thinking of the first time we met, not long after I moved here from Queens in the early 70's, the great 70's. We didn't know each other yet when I was cutting through Center Street School one day and saw you flying a kite, that's right Dombo flying a kite. Well, I was the trouble maker for once and I began throwing rocks at your kite. Wouldn't you know it I hit it and broke it. The best part is we didn't fight but you yelled for your mom, who was there, she came over and started yelling at me to pay for it. Well I would have none of that, jumped on my bike and left you holding your busted kite in the field not looking all to happy. We of course became good friends soon after that for a long time. So many good times we had. Like when my Granny would drivie you, me and Glen to Jones Beach quite often and you two being total wiseguys in the backseat and my Gran never minded. Or when you, me and Glen would go nuts in my pool almost knocking it down on occasion.Or when you got your license and came by in that hot red 74 Duster with the trusty 8 track player. The only tape I had that sounded good was the Who By #'s, we wore it out. What fun it was back then, what a great time. I only wish I knew what was going on these last few years and connected again. I hope we meet again someday and have a couple cold ones over it. I know we will, we all will... My deepest condolences to Mr. and Mrs. Smith and the entire family. Sincerely Richard Hyde.

Dominic,
Your beautiful life has come to an end, You died as You lived, everyone's friend. You touched my life probably more than you knew, I have great memories of the days in the Hamptons and hanging out with you! We all had lots of laughs...I remember you always busting my chops because I lived in Queens in an apartment. You loved living in Long Island with your boys, in a house with lots of grass and trees. You really gave it to me when we went to watch my brothers play softball on Skillman Avenue, I can still hear you asking me where is the grass?!? You appeared very gruff and rough but everyone who knew you knew you were a mush. Rest in peace my friend. See you on the other side.

Donna and the Smith Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are for Dominic, you and your family. We were all kids together, so much changes. We learned alot from one another. Maybe the best we can do is remember how we all touched one another's lives, keep that in our heart, and do our best to make each moment count.

Dom - Our pathes crossed briefly as roommates and friends through Paulie Boy, but you left a lasting impression of laughter and good times. I had a blast watching the fights with you and the boys and enduring the verbal sparring - I can still hear that voice!
My deepest sympathies to Leslie and the Smith family.

I cannot imagine the pain of losing a son, and I am heartbroken for you, Mary and John. My heart goes out to George and especially Donna, as the pain of losing a twin must be too much.
I will always remember his beautiful smile and how handsome he was. As a teen, if any of my friends saw him across the street, they'd say, 'who is HE?' I know he is now at peace, and I send light and healing to him and everyone who knew him.
Love,
Marlo

Dominic was my friend for many years you see he had this dog name Panda and I have this dog name Junior and our life's cross in the field behind our homes. Our dogs got along well and so did we. We had many good times together Christmas Eve 2007 with my family at my house and the Giants Super Bowl Party at Sandy & Cathy house this year in January and the many long walks with our dogs day or night in all kind of weather. We use to like walking at night in the snow the snow would light up the field like it was a full moon. Down the field we would go and once around the reservoir water sump was our routine. But now when I walk with my dog in the field a tear run down my cheek. I guess it is going to take time...a lot of time.
Dom, Gene & Paul

Dombo, You liked to say you beat me up in the 4th grade.(that was the last time you were able to). The tears are starting to flow, this ain't easy. So many thoughts, my mind is racing. We've known each other for 36 years....you, me, Chris, Rich, Greg hanging out at the shopping center or the pond or Chris' basement. As we got older... Glen's apartments in Willy Park and Minola, The Emerald, Mineola Movie Theater, 89 cents and as much beer as we could sneak in. The crazy times at 24 Charles, life was always fun. I think I had the best days of my life living with you and Albo in East Meadow. Wild camping trips to Hunter, Devils tombstone, fawns leap, beer fest. Ski trips to Vermont, Kickboxing each other till we were black and blue all over. Lots of Bud Tall boys. And now its over. I am so sorry i didnt know the true pain you were going through. I wish i could have helped you. I will always love you, Your Friend, Dirty Boy or Gates or just Bill

Dom was a one of a kind. Not just his voice but his loyalty and friendship was straight forward and true. To all of us lucky enough for him to call us friend, you will be forever loved. And though our paths haven't crossed as frequently as in the past.The journeys travelled together will be relived in laughter and never forgotten. Take care brother and keep the tall boys on ice.
