DOMINICK P. DEPAOLA

It has been a long time since I have been without Dom, and I still think of him and miss him. He will always be in my thoughts and is in my prayers.

I still remember Dom's words of guidance and still think of him often.

I just read in the St. Francis College's alumni news about Dom's recent sudden passing. I was a classmate and remember so well the three musketeers, Dom, John Carlo and Thad Josefawitz. I was a fellow bio grad '64 and have followed Dom's illustrious career with interest through the college alumni news. My prayers for the repose of Dom's soul as well as for the peace and comfort of you, Rosemary and all your family and friends. Ray Makofske, '64

Dom leaves one of the great legacies in Dentistry and oral health care generally. His vision, insights and energy will continue to inspire those of us who knew him. He was a blessing in our lives. Rosemary and Alexis, thank you for sharing him with us.

Dear Rosemary and Alexis,

I am so saddened to hear of the untimely passing of my friend and former boss, Dom. I cannot tell you what an honor and pleasure it was to work for him as his assistant in the Dean's Office at The Univ of Texas Dental School at San Antonio. Every time I think of him, it brings a big smile to my face. I always looked forward to seeing the two of you at meetings around the country. I will treasure the memories I hold of him in my heart. I will miss him...
