Thank u for always keeping ur head about ur self when I was loosing mine! U always knew what too say to o calm me down and keep us out of trouble. Then that smile and them came that laugh! Those were good time my brother. Thanks for always having my back! As I had yours! U fought a long hard battle against an unforgiving foe. Now rest my brother until we meet again.

There is a photo in our wedding album of you putting a garter on one of the bridesmaids at our reception. The picture of you with a smile on your face is the image that will always be in my mind. Now you will be smiling for eternity. Prayers for your family and friends

Dom, my dear sweet friend, I will miss you greatly. You were an inspiration to us all. Our biggest cheerleader! You wore your heart on your sleeve and showed us all what it meant to have passion for everything we do. Thank you for always taking the the time to talk and be supportive.

For whatever reason Dominic, whenever you walled into #16, everyone's attitude changed. The world suddenly got brighter, and our steps were now lighter. You were loved by all of us and you will be truly missed. Rest in Peace Dominic.

My dear friend, for over a decade we traveled the same roads, both literally and figuratively. A day at work hardly passed that we didn't call each other or meet with each other. You taught me manners, kindness and patience for which I will be forever grateful. I pray for your family, and know that your legacy is a rich one which I can only aspire to reach. Rest in peace kind sir. You are loved by so many.

Dom, you were family to me. I will never forget that you had the most contagious smile I've ever seen and you had the ability to uplift people even in the saddest times. I will not be sad, but will celebrate your smile with a smile for others, your love with love toward others, your memory with joy and happiness in my heart always! Rest in peace dear Dominic!
