Zucca Family
For a moment time stood still. Our hearts are with you and know that Dom will be missed by his family and the many people who had the chance to interact with such a man of class.
Mary Ann and I will always remember Dom for many reasons, one that will always be in our hearts was his making our dream come true some 30 years ago when we asked him would he make our wedding cake, and that our only request was to have a Chocolate cake ( keep in mind at that time wedding cakes where Vanilla ) Dom's response was " if that’s what you want, you got it" and what a cake it was, the cake was more then two love birds could have imagined, Dom made that cake the talk of our wedding, and when we cut the cake it was clear to both Mary Ann and I that Dom made our dream come true.
Dom you will be missed, but never forgotten, our love to you always...
