Marie, David and Anthony,
Dominick was an outstanding person. You are so fortunate to have had such a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. I cared for him very deeply. I will never forget all the years we spent working out together. He would always make a point to come over and talk to me. What a great guy! He will be missed greatly!!!
I am so very sorry for your loss. Although I only knew Dom for a short time, I felt like he was a true gentleman and a caring family man. Thank you so much for your phone calls to let me know what was going on. It lessened the blow. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in these sad days.

Marie, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Not seeing Dom at the gym will definitely create an empty spot in our hearts. It is hard to find a more warm, sincere, and fun person. We never did make it out to dinner with y’all.
We will miss Dom alot. It was always great to see him so active in the neighborhood, walking down the street, with a smile on his face. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
As you and your family work through the loss of your husband, father and grandfather, Ron and I will keep you in our prayers in hope that you will find comfort in knowing that you are not alone; we are here to help whenever we are needed. Our heartfelt thoughts go out to you and the family with more concern and sympathy than we could ever express.

Dear Marie & family,
We were so sorry to hear of Dom’s passing and we extend our deepest sympathy to you all. We have a lot of memories of the time you spent in Ringwood as our neighbors. Memories we hope will help to sustain you during this time of mourning his loss.
God Bless you and may He help you cope with this difficult time of your lives.
Love,
Janet, Hank, Lisa, Eric & Mark
Dear Marie, please accept our deepest sympathy for the loss of your devoted husband. Dominick always had such a positive attitude about every thing. His humor was contagious and we will always remember how when both you and he walked into Bally’s Gym you lit up the place with smiles and laughter. We miss that and we will truly miss him. Some day, we will all be reunited in our own Bally’s in the sky. Our sincere love and prayers to you.
Dear Marie, David and family. I am truly saddened by the passing of Dominick. I always enjoyed my conversations with him at Bally’s, we could talk about anything and we did a lot of it… He was my friend and I will miss him.

DEar Marie-
I am so very sorry to hear about Dom.For more than 20 years and through our Bally’s friendship, Dom was alway’s the perfect gentleman and always brought a smile with his wit and humor.
I must also apologize that with non-refundable travel plans,I will miss Dom’s service and seeing you again. You and Dom will be in my heart and prayers.I happened to hear this song moments after hearing of Dam’s passing, which I think is a good eulogy of my friend.

We will surely miss Dominick.Mack from Bally’s
Dear Marie
We’re thinking of you and your family at this time and praying for you. Maybe Doody and Mom met in heaven. Who ever would have thought they would pass 2 days apart. Doody will always have a special place in our hearts.
We pray God’s peace for you in the days to come.
Where do I start? Dominick and I have been friends around 20 years. We spent countless hours chatting at Ballys and most recently at LA Fitness. There wasn’t a topic we didn’t touch on through the years. I always enjoyed his memories of playing football, baseball, running and of course working out. The strength of a bull and a heart of a lion. It was amazing to see him still look so young in spite of various health issues that he faced. He was like the $6 million dollar man. He always bounced back. How about that ever young personality! I sure enjoyed joking around with him on various topics and some of the characters we would encounter. I used to get a kick out of Dominick’s love of the new car. I couldn’t keep up with what he was driving. He loved the deal! Dominick would often tell me how he met Marie when he was driving his hot new car. 52 years, WOW! Dominick was very proud of David’s accomplishments in meteorology and of course glowed when mentioning Anthony. During the times we golfed together, I found it amazing that a guy 30 years older would frequently out drive me. He loved it! Shannon and I enjoyed our visits to Marie and Dominick’s house. Especially, the one day party that consisted of endless eating of fabulous food. I was very happy that Shannon and I along with our 6 month old son Chance got to see Dominick and Marie just a few weeks back. I’m sure going to miss Dominick. He was the face I always looked for when I got to the gym. You’ll never meet a guy with more integrity.
Marie,
We were so saddened to hear of Dom’s passing.
Our hearts and prayers are with you at this time.

Hi Marie. I will always remember how Dudie would check in with us every few months to see how the boys and I were doing. He was a happy guy, always smiling. I am sure he is in heaven sipping wine with Pop. We pray for you and your family.
Dear Marie, David and Family: Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Dominick was a great man who always had a smile and a little joke to share. We will always remember him being so kind and welcoming everytime we came to Florida. We will miss him dearly
