I was saddened to read of Domenick Milano's death. When I was in junior high, I spent much time in your home visiting Donna, and all these years later, I often remember how warm and welcoming he was to me. Sometimes, I would see him outside the fire house in Poughkeepsie, and he always greeted me enthusiastically and happily, as a family friend. I have always been a little sad that we all lost touch over the years, but the memories live on. I hope that you find much comfort in your own many memories of your wonderful husband and father. My sincere sympathy to Mrs. Milano and Donna.
