We were deeply saddened to hear the news.Dominic was the last 1st cousin on my father's side,here in America. Along with Charlie and Tony, he was a role model for me and my siblings as we were growing up in the '30s and '40s. There are so many good memories, too numerous to mention here.
Please accept our heartfelt sorrow, and may God bless you all.
Charlie(age 80)
