Dom you made me laugh much. I thank you for that. There is so much not to laugh at in this world. But you by your very nature made it fun to laugh at the absurdities in life. You were a good man. Miss that there will be no new movies with you in them. Sincerly,Don Freebird Gregg

My dear friend..... your kindness will never be forgotten. I started out as a fan, but you made sure we became friends. All I hoped for was an autograph, then you said "Let's have lunch". After that you said "Hey, let's go see my Mom in Brooklyn". And as if that wasn't enough, you invited my wife and I to see you perform in Atlantic City (all expenses paid).
We can never thank you enough, will never have a friend like you again, and will miss you forever.
A true class act!
We miss you buddy!!!
Your friend always,
Marty

To the Deluise Family,
My condolences on the loss of your loved one. Dom had a talent a gift to make those around him laugh and feel good in his presence, whether on TV or in person. His generosity of spirit reminds me of Jesus and how he too wanted to give life to others, to provide kindness, “ and a great multitude of people…came to HEAR him and be healed of their sicknesses…seeking to touch him, because power was going out of him and healing them all. ~Luke 6:17-19 Please continue to pray for each other because it has much power, and provides comfort. Dom will be missed.

My prayers are with all of you. Dom was one of my favorite actors. He was totally awesome. I enjoyed his sense of humor. From all of his bloopers He seemed liked he was really having a great time and enjoyed acting. I truly believe what you saw on the screen is who he really was. He was a man that enjoyed making people laugh and he also enjoyed laughing. He was a very talented man.
Thank you for sharing your Dad with the millions of people in the world who enjoyed watching him on the big screen.
He will be missed by millions.

For Dom...the portly actor-comedian whose affable nature made him a popular character actor for decades with movie and TV audiences as well as directors and fellow actors.
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.

I will always remember Mr.Deluise. I was an extra in the movie Smokey and the Bandit 2 when they filmed at Tigers Paw Lounge.They had a tent set up at the lunch break I couldn't get a meat ball off the fork and Mr. Deluise took the meat ball off my fork with his fingers and said this is how you do it honey! He licked his fingers and smiled. He will be missed. My Prayers are with the family.
