Dear Mancini Family,

I am so sorry to hear of Diminick's passing. He was a good friend. We were both principals in the City School District in Rochester, NY many years ago. We'd sit together at many meetings, served on the same committees together, and we would call eachother when either of us (usually me) needed support or help with a problem. He was a leader in the field of Education and one of the finest principals in Rochester.

He was always so even-tempered and always with a smile on his face......"What a Good Guy!!" My brother, Al Cavallaro (now deceased) was friends with some of the Mancini boys also.

It came as a great shock to me when I heard the news. Dom was a good man, a great friend, and always there when we needed him.

We all knew that he's in a better place now and with The Lord. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

He certainly leaves a void here, but he touched so many lives in a very positive way.....he has left a legacy of memories for all of us. God Bless you all. Richard Cavallaro (Originally form Rochester, NY) now living in Oceanside, California

Domenic was a formative influence in my early Christian experience. Always full of faith and the Holy Spirit, he was a continuous inspiration, a friend, and a partner in ministry over several years. It is with deep sorrow that I must say goodby to him and the final closing of the pages in my spiritual formation that he so deeply impacted. May God be his richest reward forever.

I'm sorry for you loss.I was lucky to have met such a wonderful person. I remember going to #27 school(Susan B. Anthony) and he stood right with me downtown when I was given the "Safety Patrol" award. When we got back to school he promoted me to lieutenant and eventually captain. The years may have passed but he will remain my "hero".

I will never forget the many times as a young girl, Domenic's smile would make me feel better. I attended Parminister with the Mancini family. There was never a Sunday he didn't hug me and tell me he cared. He became and will constantly remain a kind of a hero to me. I am thankful for his faithfulness as it was a key in my own.

I mourn deeply with the family in their loss of this great man and rejoice greatly with Domenic as he meets Jesus face to face and hears "Well done..." My life was eternally changed through him.
