Although I did not know Mr. Comino I knew the product of his life in his son Tim. From every good tree comes good fruit and Tim is one of the best. May God comfort you in this hour of need, with the knowledge that that his life and impact on the world will long be known through his family and all of those he touched.

Donny was always laughing or smiling when I saw him. He seemed to have a great love for life, his family and his blueberries! He will surely be missed. I'm so sorry for the loss of your dad (and husband) I know how hard it is and for me it doesn't get easier, it just gets more familiar. I've known Donny ever since my sister and her husband moved next door and it just wont be the same when we go to visit them without smiling Donny there. Love and prayers.
