I’ll always remember Dominicks smile! His smile spoke to me ( like when he was up to something and I wasn’t sure what it was) He made me laugh! He loved to cook and it brought great pleasure when others enjoyed eating the food. He loved his family very much!!! Thank you to his sisters who were so willing to be a bone marrow donor!! Keep MaryAnn and Jason in your prayers as well as the family.
Dominick you are loved and missed greatly

Heartfelt sympathy to MaryAnn, Jason, and the rest of Dominic’s family. Dominic loved to cook and I enjoyed many of his wonderful meals. He loved his old cars and I remember taking a ride on the bumper seat in one of them. Most of all, he loved his family and looked forward to spending time with them. Our prayers are with you all, your sister-in-law, Sharlene & family.
Dominick, You were a loving husband and father. I miss you everyday. I miss your wonderful smile and your great humor. You were a fantastic chef and I miss all your fabulous meals – you spoiled me! I loved to ride in your Chevy. It was a favorite to both of us and I miss riding in it with you. Of course, I miss your unique and wonderful personality and being able to joke around with you. I loved to see you smile when I gave you a zinger and you tried to hide it! It meant so much to me that you respected and was always ready to stand up for me. Thanks for always being there and loving me so much. Your loving wife.
