Hello, I'm sorry about Domingo. I knew him back in the days and I bought this painting from him. It's the same one that he's holding in the picture. I used to work on his Volkswagen Bus. I lost contact with him for a very long time and I just found this out on a website.

Domingo was the greatest; I remember him well in school. We used to hang out together. How I remember "The Strangers" and Domingo was the "star." He had great talent. I am so sorry of your loss.

He was my good friend Elsa's brother and when we were teenagers we loved to hear his music. He always had a quiet presents about him and was our Valley's very own rockstar. I knew that he was a Christian and now he is home with the Lord and at peace. I'm looking forward to meeting his children at the memorial. In Christ Love...

I remember jamming with his band OPUS back in the late 70's and early 80's. A true gentleman and a kind soul. Glad we got to hang out back in the day. My prayers to the family. Absent from the body, present with the Lord. Sam Cardenas
