I am very sad to find that Dominic had passed. I did not find out until recently. He was a wonderful nurse who helped myself and others through his profession. He often spoke of how much he loved his children and family. I will never forget his kindness and I will never forget him.

It never occured to me until just now(July 2009) to view Dominic's guest book. Dominic and I go way back to grade school at St. Raymond's back in the 70's. Did he ever have the most beautiful blue eyes. I remember high school graduation that he was able to attend after his accident. I found out that at the last high school reunion, he asked about me, only to find out a few months later at 9:00 mass at St. Raymond's that he had passed. I think of him often in spite of all the years gone by and STILL ride past the house he grew up in....every sunday...

Well we are coming up on the first holiday season with out my buddy, and it is just as hard now then it ever has been since Dom left us, I still cry when I think of him , it was too short and there was so much more I wanted to tell him. If anything postive has come from his passing is I have come to understand how short our time here is. I try to take care of things in a different way today then before. I have always told my family that I love them after each phone call, each time I leave the house, but the one thing I do now that I did not do before is I tell the others in my life like friends, sister-in-law, my Aunts , just people I always thought knew how I FELT but never really told them. I got this from Dom and we always wish we had more time to say these simple words I love you , simple words with a large meaning. I also found that no matter how nice,helpful of a person I thought I was there is always room for improvement!This Christmas will be hard without you buddy , but I know your looking down apond us,and if it sounds carzy or not I want to wish you a Merry Christmas no matter where you are. Love your buddy, JT

I knew Dominic only a short time, but the power of his personality became apparent quickly. I have rarely known someone so generous. Dom had an energizing presence, a terrific sense of humor, a wonderful way with those he helped, a sense of dedication which I admired in his work. It was a pleasure to know him. Dominic, we'll miss you.

Dear Patti and family, Words can never express the sadness I felt when I learned of Dominic's passing. I consider myself fortunate to have worked with Dominic on many a hectic shift. He was an incredible nurse and a great collegue. Many chaotic shifts were made bearable by his humor, sensitivity and skill. Of all the nurses I have worked with over many years as medical professional, I can truly say, working with Dom was a joy. Heaven surely has another angel.
I will miss him. My condolences to Patti, Tori, Jamie and Mrs. Bonacci.

Dominic was a very kind man and a very hard worker, he took his job at friends hospital very serious. He was excellent with the patients and his fellow employees. He is a great loss to our facility as to the our community in general. I know from all the times he spoke of you Patti, he loved you dearly and he raved of your cooking as he would always bring it in for all of our functions. He will be so missed by all of us. Please take care of yourself and if anyone here can ever be of assistance to you please call us. My thoughts are with you and your family.

"Forever In My Heart"
Right now I'm in a different place,And though we seem apart I'm closer then I ever was...I'm there inside your heart.
I'm with you when you greet each day,And while the sun shines bright,I'm there to share the sunsets too...I'm with you every night.
I'm with you when the times are good,To share a laugh or two,And if a tear should start to fall... I'm always there for you.
And when the day arrives,That we are no longer apart, I'll smile and hold you close to me,
"You Are Forever In My Heart" .

WE WERE JUST THINKING OF YOU TODAY MORE THEN MOST DAYS , BUDDY, "Happy Birthday Dom" ! THE BIG 44TH ! "I know I am still older" ! ....your buddy Jimmy (JT)

Patti, Tori, Jamie:
I just wanted to say that I consider myself a lucky man to have known Dom and your family over the years. I apologize that I could not make it to the services but my thoughts were carried by my family.
My earliest memory of Dom was when I was about eight years old. Tori and I were sitting in the room adjacent from him and my dad, when he walked in and told me to get off of the same couch as her! I needed all the help I could get to even make it on that couch and BAMB just like that all my efforts were mute. They thought it was hilarious as my dad busted my chops about it all the way home. I recall that happening a lot when I was a kid, those two always laughing amongst themselves about something or other…
Dom’s friendship meant the world to my family, especially my father, and he will never be forgotten. No words can fully express the loss of a loved one but knowing him was an honor.

Dear Patti, I was so sorry to hear about Dominic. He was a wonderful man and he will be missed very much. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
To Mrs. B:
I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am. Dominic was like a brother to me and I will miss him very much. When my first son Andy was born, almost 16 years ago! Dominic sent me 12 long stem red roses to congrat. me....I've never forgotten his heartfelt gesture/ it meant alot to me.
May you find that place in your heart where the thoughts,prayers and compassion of others bring you comfort. I will be keeping you and the family in my prayers.
