He was preceded in death by his son Robert "Bobby" Montalbano. Dominic was a proud grandfather of 11 and great grandfather of 13, with 2 more on the way. He had many friends and was loved by all. You'll always hold a special place in all our our hearts. We love you.

Lil and family. I just learned today of Don's passing. Kathy and I send all of you our deepest sympathies. Don, besides being a unique North Beach personality, was always pleasant and respectful towards my wife and me through the many years we've known all of you. I hope the new life coming in the family helps to offset the painful sense of loss you must be feeling right now. May Jocko rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear of Dominic's passing. I will always remember the fun times we had with the Montalbano family in Santa Rosa at the Flamingo Hotel. What great memories!
My love to all the family.
