The few weeks I had the priviledge of spending with Dom working for the PPRR I knew right away that he was a caring man that was willing to help and be a friend to all that needed it. He will be missed by everyone that knew him.

I am proud to say Dominic was a friend of mine. He had a kind heart and always wore a smile. He set a great example of us. We should all try to be like him. I will miss him, and think of him every summer in the mountains.

Some of my fondest memories as a child were of my Uncle Dom, I remember when he came home from the Navy and how he was my hero, although I was just a small child. He would play with us and loved to tease us, he would swing me around in a circle by the arms and I thought it was great (even when I was unable to stand up and walk, because I would be so dizzy). I spent many summers with Uncle Dom, Aunt Viv, Joe, Jon and Jan and I loved it. We had a wonderful time at Lakeside and Uncle Dom I think had more fun then the kids did. I never heard him complain and I admired him for his courage. I love you, Uncle Dom--

My Uncle Dom always has a sparkle in his eye! I will always remember that giggle, his good nature and all the fun we had growing up and old to gether.

He took me (made me) go on my very first roller coaster ride at Elich Gardens.

I love him and will miss him always.
