I knew Dominic as “Philly Fighter” on the game 1945 Air Force, he was our leader and Captain of the Long Stroke division he founded three years ago with one of his nephews. For us he was a great leader never demanding too much from us. He enjoyed playing the game. His messages were filled with references of his wife and daughter. We will miss him and the fun we had with him as our Captain. The team sends our condolences to his family and friends.

Best guy ever. From watching him and John breakdance on a piece of cardboard with my brother in our driveway in the 80s to hanging up the playground as teens and now watching him as a father and husband has been an honor. Dom will always be one of the kindest most genuine guys from the neighborhood and we will all miss him terribly!

Dominic was a beautiful person. He had a kind, gentle spirit that drew everyone to him. I was so proud to call him my son and I already miss him terribly. He loved his wife and children more than anyone could imagine. I know he is watching over us with his brother John and keeping us safe. Please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers.

I remember Dominic, as a very cool, friendly, humble, and as I witnessed over the years of seeing him as a dedicated Father, and Family man. I will continue to pray for his Family, and close Friend's of him that may be in any shock, (as I am) and in their time of grief that they are experiencing now. I believe, just as I knew of Dominic, will be in Heaven with Our Lord, looking down on any of his Family for their protection, and peace that Dominic was that type of man, that I believe he was. May God bring comfort to all of his Family, and believe that Dominic will be with Our Lord for Eternity! May Dominic Rest in Peace! And God Bless all of Dominic's Family through these difficult times of their loss..
