I feel truly blessed to have known this man for 27 years. When I think of him, I always smile. If nothing else I would like the chance to thank him. Thank him for his beautiful spirit, his example as a father, grandfather and husband, his overwhelming presence and for giving me the best friend I could ever have been blessed with, Lorraine. His legacy is his family. One that he can be very proud of and one that I am honored to know and feel a part of.
God Bless all of you and Mr. B., you will be forever be in my heart. Love you.

Grandpa aka, Shramps was the best grandpa anyone could ask for. I would like to think in many ways I take after him. He tought me to swing dance and truely appreciate the time you spend with other people. There was never one moment I can remember where he was mad at someone or unhappy, that just wasnt him. There is no one that can replace Shramps or the wonderful memories everyone shared with him. Everytime I'm singing, skiing, or dancing I know he will be there. He tought me things I will take with me all of my life. I am blessed to say that I had a grandpa as great as him. I love him and I'll miss him he was the best,

My father-in law was the most loving and caring dad,son,husband and grandpa. He truly loved and cherished his family more than any man I know. He enjoyed every moment he spent with us without waste. Even when he wasnt feeling the best, you never knew it.. I am overwhelmed with sadness when I think of what my children will now be missing in their lives..What we will all be missing.. He never referred to me as his daughter-in law, but as his daughter and I am honored and blessed to have had him in my life for the time I did...All my love forever,,,,Robin

A man with a contagious smile. It was impossible to be in his presence and not be happy. Above all else, he loved his family both immediate and extended. He will be sorely missed, but never forgotten.

-if there ever was a man that didn't need to be physically in the room at all times , it was my Uncle Dom.
He is present always , in each one of us.
Everything we are, everything we do, was and is influenced by him .
He is there and always will be.

My Grandfather was a one of a kind man. I will miss his spirit and love of life. I only feel privileged to have known a man with such character. I will cherish him and our memories in my heart forever.

My dad will always be the best man I have and will ever know. A man who put the needs of others before himself ALWAYS. A man who knew the simple pleasures of life. A man without judgement of others, only acceptence. A man who lived every day with humility joy and love. A man who never complained. A man all others should try to strive to be. Quite simply a man who lived what Christ taught us to be.

Dom was a wonderful man with a great spirit for life and a great love for his fellow man. Although this is a very sad time, as I think back on the many memories I have of him, I cannot shed tears, but only smile. I believe smiling would honor his memory more. Take comfort in knowing that everyone who knew him, felt his love and is praying for you all.
