Please accept our belated but sincere sympathy on the loss of Dominic. He was a wonderful guy & we enjoyed his visits at our house (when we still lived in Hazleton) as he drove by. Hugs...

My heartfelt sympathy to Margaret, Ron & Joanne, Heather & Stephen, Judy & Patty. Dommie was a kind and thoughtful son, brother, uncle, cousin and friend. I will always remember him as soft spoken and thinking of others.
Dommie fought an admirable battle with cancer to the very end. Although my heart continues to cry, I find a little comfort in knowing that Dommie and his Father are once again together holding hands.
God used Dommie to bless all of our lives.
