Dom, There is so many things I would like to ask you about our past times in the Army. And more about your family and work and drumming! I found you to be a very caring person who loved life and your family heritage. May God Bless those who you left behind to have more peace and comfort and to know Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. Thank you buddy for all your laughter and fun many years ago. Your friend and fellow soldier Joe Cotton.

Many years & good memories remain in our hearts of "Tort" and his time with The Backwoods Four band and singing at many venues with them as "our guys". He was a joy to be around and we will forever keep those fond memories of him dear.

Mrs. Vicki, Dominic Jr, and Families.
I am so sorry and saddened by my friends passing. But to you he was a husband, father, grandfather, uncle, son, teacher, provider, best friend, cousin, and many more hats that he wore and was to you all.
He was a good and old friend who I only knew when we were younger and serving our country together. He was loyal, friendly , happy, funny and a good friend to have covering your back.
Thanks for being my friends on facebook and connecting with me. I have had a wonderful time and look forward in knowing you more. Keep smiling and give thanks to our God who made us to love.
Your friend, Joe and Cathy Cotton.

ps.Your duty is over Soldier, at Rest my friend.
