I knew Dom as an incredibly loved nephew, son, brother, grandson, and for me, a friend. It remains an honor and a privilege to have known Dom; I know his family will miss him tremendously.

Dom, I'm glad we got to have some serious talks when you were a teen...you always showed so much respect.

Peace...

Sending love to your family. I sent him a message a few weeks ago asking about his precious little boy. He replied, sweet and friendly as usual saying that there is nothing like being a dad. May he be at peace with the Lord.

I worked with Dominic, and I would kid around with him saying he was my son at work! He would make my day, as he laughed when I would say, "How's my son today?" His laughter and his energy would be electric. Dominic would always be a gentleman. I will miss him,and may he be at peace with the Lord. Lida V.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss Dominic was a great person I didn't know him like a lot of other people know him but while I was in school he knew me and I know him he would always tell me what's up never throw me a cold shoulder. Dominic was very respectable and well-liked by his peers I can recall high School parties where Dominic and all his buddies we're always the center of attention I give my condolences to the family Dominic was a great person super Dad and I know he loved his family and friends sorry for your loss. God bless you rest in peace Dominic you will be missed and never forgotten.
