it has been a year dad since you passed away. This last week has been very hard. I keep thinking about that last week, as i sat by your bedside and watched you struggle to stay with us. i will forever have a whole in my heart without you here with us. A part of me will never be the same. I so wish things were different. i miss my morning phone calls with you and all the times i had driving all over the country side with you and your shenanigans. they say as time goes on, it gets easier. I disagree. i know you are in a better place and God needed you more. I wish you were you were here more. Hope you are having fun with Uncle Bert, Aunt Bridgie and cousin Julious. i hope you know we are taking care of Mom and she is doing good. We will celebrate you on Saturday with the Panfilli's and continue to carry on the wonderful life you have given us. I will love you and miss you forever!!!!! xoxoxo. Trisha

Our hearts and thoughts go out to Carol and family. We were saddened to learn of Dom's passing. Dom's leadership role at Hamilton Sundstrand will always be remembered. He had a wonderful disposition that made us feel the warmth and dedication he strived to reflect in his daily work environment, and with co-workers. He enlightened us with great life stories, and the various business ventures that Carol and he shared, along with special family memoirs. Carol and his family held a special place in Dom's heart, and will surly continue to stay within each of us.
Fondly,
His Friends and Co-workers

You will be missed my dear friend for the many strong ways you handled life. One of the highlights of my days is when you came into my store with a laugh and a few words of that Palumbo wisdom. You always said you were born to late because you wanted to be one of those self sufficient pioneers that built the west but you were a pioneer in many ways in our time. I'll miss those Italian recipes sent in your emails to me in England which were so much like my mother would cook. Your recipes of life were those golden treasures I remember about the values you kept from our priceless Italian heritage. Rest in piece my friend, you more than earned it.
