I worked with Dom in the Jet Shop at PanAm. He was a delightful upbeat man who was always willing to help someone in need. Dom was known in some circles as the carberator guy because of his ability to diagnose and repair car carberators. He was a great friend and will be missed by us all. Bob Walent JEOB Welding shop.

Although I only met your Pop Pop a few times, he was always a warm, kind and gentle man. My family's prayers are with you. May God give you and your family peace and tranquility. And know that he's an angel in heaven, happy and healthy, watching over you all. With all my love, Short Stuff.

Terri, although I only met your dad once, I have quite a vivid picture of him from the stories you've shared of you and your siblings growing up on Long Island. He was a warm, wise and loving man in addition to being quite a character. I'm sorry for your loss. You & Rich & T.J. are in my prayers. Uncle Freddie.

Pop, you were my rock and I knew I could always count on you for anything. You were always there to guide, comfort, or just crack a joke to make me laugh. I will always love and miss you and thank God that I had you as my father. I love you. Lisa
