Not a day has passed since i was a kid in 1963 that Dom's TV music has not been with me. Simply incomparable.

This is very sad news. I remember the frontieres family coming in to the arroyo chamiso pediatric clinic in Santa Fe with their children.when they were younger. Robin usually brought them in, but Dominic came occasionally as well. What a nice down to earth man. I always looked forward to seeing the family there. Great parents , to Emily, Joseph , nick and sophia. What a huge loss, god bless the family during this sad time. Great family.

Maestro Frontiere's wonderful music first touched me when I was just a child. He remains one of my favorite composers now that I'm 65. I'm so sorry for your loss. We will never lose his music.

My sincere condolences to you, Robin, and your entire family. I always enjoyed being in Dom's presence as he was one of the most generous and kind men I have known. His smile made me smile too. His sense of humor was a delight. Remembering all of you now and in the days ahead with fondness.
