I started getting my haircut with "Donnie" when I was 13, left Ohio when I was 19 and started my state hopping because of my chosen career, but every chance I had to be home on the Hilltop I would call him ahead of time to sit in that chair to get my razor cut....the BEST there was!!!! My brother had 52 years with him. I was fortunate enough to be able to be in that chair for a few more cuts as I had the opportunity to be back in CBUS and on the Hilltop once a month a couple of years ago to get my "cut" and listen to Donnie sing and rag on my brother and I. There will never be another "DOM" and those of us who were privileged enough to spend time with him are sad at his passing. Be at peace Dominic.

Dear Polly,
I’m so sorry for your loss. I was very fortunate to meet the two of you. I remember when you guys used to go to Vittorias every weekend. How could I forget that Dominic loved his wedding soup with a lot of Parmesan cheese:) and of course, his gnocchis with marinara sauce. I have always had great experiences with the two of you.
We will be praying for you, and I bet that Dominic is looking over us in heaven. Thank you both for everything you have done, not only for me, but for my family.
