So sorry to hear of Mr. Longo's passing. He worked with my dad at Malley's in the '50's and they went to SCSC together. I was fortunate enough to have him as a teacher in the 70's. He was so inspirational & a sweetheart of a man. God Bless!

Gerry and I are so sorry to hear of your loss. Dom was a wonderful man and educator and - such a gentleman! I recently enjoyed taking his Tai Chi classes in Branford - it was so generous of him to volunteer his time to give the classes. Deepest sympathy.
