Alphonse, I will always remember Dom for his warm smile and wonderful sense of humor. He touched the lives of many. My mom and dad always admired all he did for the youth of Southington. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I remember Dom so very well, and, most of all, our days together with the postwar Southington Gems. He was Mr. Happy Face in my book.

Dear Alphonse, Please accept my deepest sympathy to you and your family on the passing of Dom. I met Dom on my first day of school in 1963. We were both new to Beecher St School. He helped make my first year teaching jitters evaporate with his great sense of humor.
Sincerely, Gloria Palumbo

Dom opened up both his heart and his home to us. We loved his sense of humor and are blessed to have called him ‘friend’.

Sue and Family,
I was very sad to hear the news of your Dad. He was a great Coach and a greater man. I'm so glad I was able to see him last November at his induction to the SHS Hall of Fame. My condolences to you and your family. Regards, Francis Maineri, New Hampton, NH

So sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. I remember when we where kids the smell of your dads pipe. The rides he gave us to school and the trips to the YMCA. Your dad was a wonderful teacher, neighbor and friend. He will be missed by all who knew him.
Your friend and former neighbor.
