You were a very successful person. You also lost your daughter in such a tragic manner. I hope you are now reunited with her and you are both at peace. I never met you but you made a impact on my life. Thank you.

What a damn shame! I particularly enjoyed him on Power,Privelege,and Justice which I still watch today and just like everyone else was captivated by the narration in each show! WOW what a story teller! I am shocked to just read about this when I came across "After the Party" which I haven't seen yet but will on HULU. Rest in Peace my friend and be free! Hopefully, you are with God and Dominique.

We all miss you Dominick and your stories of the rich and infamous.
You were a true gentleman and I look forward to the day that my wife welcomes me into Gods hands so I can be with all of my family and get to meet you.
My wife Rose (passed on May 31 2007) would never miss you and thought the world of you.
God bless You and yours,

WEEP NOT FOR ME
Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.
Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.
I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you. I will share your tears, your joys, your fears, your disappointments and your triumphs.
Do not weep for me, for I am cradled
in the arms of God. I walk with the angels, and hear the music beyond the stars.
Do not weep for me, for I am within you;
I am peace, love, I am a soft wind that caresses the flowers. I am the calm that follows a raging storm. I am an autumns leaf that floats among the garden of God, and I am pure white snow that softly falls upon your hand.
Do not weep for me, for I shall never die, as long as you remember me...
with a smile and a sigh.

Hi, I have been here before. I'm here again cause I love Dominick Dunne. I have watched him for years. I know both of the children. (Sad about his daughter years ago) I will miss him so much. I am very sorry about his passing. A great guy. I will miss you. I'm a huge fan of yours!!!!!

Dear Griffin,
I was so sorry to learn of your Dad's passing. I actually heard it from my friend Babara C, the librarian at the Lyme Library.
Though it'd been many years since our "Fay Days," when I moved to Lyme in the late 90's I learned your Dad was a resident there too. I'd always thought our paths would cross one day since we both appreciated and patronized our great little local library. I thought I'd tell him of our adventures up in Southborough in the "early days," but unfortunately that never happened.
Your Dad was one of the great ones. With an ability to transcend celebrity with a real dose of humanity.
I hope all is well in your life. I went to my 40th year reunion at Fay last year, (so hard to believe) which was the first time I'd returned since graduating in '68, lots of changes and memories...
Wishing you my sincere condolences, and all the best.

I will miss Dominick, he had become part of our family. It wasn't uncommon to say "did you see Dominick last night?"
I'm sure he died of a broken heart over the death of his child.
May God rest your soul.

To the Family, Friends, Co-Workers, Authors and all whom have worked and knew this amazing man. I never missed a show or a repeat. A great teller he was. My heart goes out to all of you. As we all know, Dominick Dunne was a very intelligent man. His shoes will be sadly missed but I do pray that they do repeat his shows from time to time. He will be hard to replace on earth but has found happiness in Heaven with his Dear Daughter. He is "NOW AT PEACE."
My prayers and thoughts are with all of you. GOD BLESS YOU, DOMINICK DUNNE, you helped give "Society Justice" and told the story well.

Mr. Dunne proved that there are indeed second chances in life. I will miss his witty commentaries on the rich and infamous, and the ease with which he moved between their world and that of a courtroom journalist.

I absolutely adored Dominick Dunne. He was a no holds barred reporter and his TV series showed that the rich Can't get away with it, even with money. I am glad that he will be reunited with his daughter in the next life, for which he will, probably, still be working on exposing the criminals, like he has always done. Peace be with his family.

Dominick Dunne was one of the most believable and trusted journalist and author I have every read. He always paid so much attention to detail, you felt like you were right there witnessing what he wrote about. I loved his column in Vanity Fair and read all of his books.
He always sought the truth and would not compromise his judgement, ever though it wasn't the popular position. There will never be another Dominick Dunne.
