So sorry for your loss, he was such a sweet man when I met him at Joey's parties. May he rest in peace with his beloved wife.

Let's see: my Uncle Dom "stole" my nose several times when I was a kid, compared noses (and somehow mine was always bigger) called me "carrots", & slipped me quarters to buy candy. The Padula brothers had a great sense of humor (and they were their own best audience)...I will miss that, & more, dearly. What I remember most about Uncle Dom is his laugh. He would always laugh to tears. A beautiful picture, Richard..just as I remember him. May he rest in peace and may you find comfort in all the memories and love your parents showered you with so you may pass it on to your children & grandchildren. All my love and prayers to you, Richard, in this most difficult time. - Carrie Padula
