To the Colotti Family,
I spent several fun filled years working with Dom in Poughkeepsie. He was always a good friend and a "great" story teller. He brought a smile to many people.

Grandma,
You and grandpa will always hold a special place in my heart! you both have shown me the true meaning of life. Just know that he is up there looking down on us cracking jokes at everything we do. He is the sunshine in the sky and the moon at night. Our entire family is who we are today because of what you both have taught us. He will live on in each of the grandchildren as we grow to be mature adults. The entire family is here for you we will go through this time together.
Grandpa,
Watch down on us. You are already missed and it wont be the same without your laughter and jokes. I will live everyday in your honor! I love you and forever will miss you!
Your First Granddaughter,
Juliann

I have known Dominick since he was in South Jr High. I recall him often playing baseball there on the grounds.
It was years since I have seen him. I located him a few years ago and we were in constant contact with other people from Newburgh and the Newburgh Free Academy.
It surely is a fact that Dominick will be missed by all. He had a fine way about him and he had a devotion for oh so many things.
At this very sad moment., I want to express my deepest condolences to his entire family and friends for such a loss at this time. I too shall sorely miss him!
