DINO AND FAMILY, PLEASE ACCEPT MY SINCERE SYMPATHIES ON THE PASSING OF YOUR FATHER. YOU ARE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS AT THIS DIFFICULT TIME.
Dom and Dino, I was sad to see that your dad had joined my father, John, in passing on. Their deaths, and the deaths of many of their time, is a reminder for me of a time long ago when we were young and carefree. I think of those men and that time fondly..hopefully you do too. Their lives were so interwined in the sweat and grim of the mason gang ,the whole Weirton ethnic millieu, and the drive to improve the lives of their families. Your dad was a good, good man…take pride in that. He was also so kind and protective of me when I worked at WSX. I wish you well in carrying on his torch in life. Kevin D. DeFebbo Bowling Green, KY

Mrs. Catignani and family, Our sympathy and prayers are with you upon the death of Mr. C. I have fond memories of him, especially when I used to borrow the church tractor to cut the practice field and I’d always mess something up, which he would fix. A good man, husband, and father. Our love and prayers, Jim, Anne, Nicole and Jennifer Paul

Dear Minnie, Dom, Dino, and Maria, Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Dominic has left behind a lifetime of beautiful memories you will cherish forever.
Dearest Minnie, My deepest condolences to you and your family. My husband passed away last April and, like Dominic, he lived life to the fullest. May you, too, find comfort in precious memories in the days ahead. You remain in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Minnie and Family: I’m so sorry to hear of Dom’s passing. I missed it in the paper and found out at Mass Sunday. Dom was such a gentle man, filled with positive energy, quiet strength and selfless humor. His love for family and friends, and horses, was apparent to all who knew him.
Dino: Please accept my prayers for you and your family. The years pass, but memories of friendships stay with us forever. I am sure that your Dad was very proud of you and your accomplishments. God bless you…. Sincerely, Bubba
Minnie & Family, I’m so sorry for the loss of a great man. I can remember he would take me to see the horses during the summers I spent next door on old florida ave and play with me, Pia and Grant in the backyard. He will be greatly missed and constantly thought about. Love, Billy
Domenic, I was so sorry to read of the loss of your father. I never will forget our racing venture back in Wheeling! You and your family will be in my prayers. Much Love, Peppi Greco
