To the Santangelo Family,
My family and I are so sorry to hear of Dominic's passing. What a beautiful person. We met you and your family over Labor Day weekend this past year because he and my Dad were roommates in the hospital. My sweet Dad passed on January 14th. Please know how often we think of you. During such a difficult period we were comforted that weekend by shared conversation, stories, and prayer. It was a true gift to have met such a loving family. We will continue to pray for you all.
Love Katina, Krista, & Rosemarie Corrao

To Our Loving Son, Dominic
Our hearts are broken and sad because we miss you so very much. But we know God had a plan and needed an extra Angel. We were fortunate to have you for 40 yrs which is certainly not enough for us but we must learn to accept God's plan. However, we know that your pain and suffering is over and you are finally at peace. As our family and friends know, you were one of our greatest gifts, our first born son from God. The love, respect and honor you gave us is beyond words. We will always love and miss you so very much. All our love and thanks to you, our son, for all the joy you gave us. All Our Love, Mom & Dad

God Bless the entire Santangelo family your strength and courage is amazing.
To Cousin Dom, you were an amazing courageous, respectful role model, husband, father, son, brother, cousin, friend and mentor for everyone who had the gratification in meeting you, even if it was only one time. The love and respect you showed others was endless. You always had a great sense of humor and a lasting smile every time we saw you. We know you are in a better place now but still find it hard to accept that you are gone…. But please know you will be never be forgotten. Your legacy will remain in all of us that had the pleasure to love you especially your incredible family, beautiful wife and amazingly beautiful children who are such a clone of you and your strength and admiration, especially during the battle you fought. We love you and we will miss you dearly.

December 29, 2012

Words can not express our sadness at the passing of Dom; however, Our Father felt it was time for reasons we may never understand.

To Pauline, the children, parents Kathy and Dom, and brother Greg; we will all have our own special memories of young Dom. Remain strong and keep the faith as we know you will.

God Bless Dominic and you all as well.

Though we only knew each other for a relatively short time , I knew that you and I would be great friends. I have never really met anyone that I connected with so quickly. I feel that I have been truly blessed to be included in your family , and I will miss you greatly. I never got a chance to tell you , but I wanted you to know that you are truly a role model as a father and husband . I was so proud of the way you handled this horrible disease . You never let it get you down and you continued to handle your responsibilities right up to the end , amazing. What I can say to others about Dom Santangelo , is he was loved by many, respected by all, he was a fine man.

Kim Houghton

Dom, I am going to miss you so much. You were one of the greatest men I have ever known. You would do anything for anyone. You and Pauline were the couple I looked up to, always a team no matter what. You were the perfect family man, always there for your wife and children. You fought a really hard battle and it breaks my heart to know you are not with us anymore, but now you are up there in heaven with my dad and father-in-law. Three wonderful angels in heaven. I love you and will miss you always.
