Beyond the Heartfelt Sadness of losing a loved one, and sad that my situation makes untimely to come during the visiting period / beyond being a supportive loving Uncle, my affection for Uncle Dom was effortless/ it stems from when I arrived to USA from Itslly with my parents & brother Maurice; we all lived Together in 3-bedroom house / my Uncle, Nonno Tony & Nonna Assunta / 7 of us at 3044 Elm St; then not yet Married (to Aunt Rachel), I have fond memories of playfylly wrestling with him on living room carpet floor / he was more like an older brother vs unlcle – nephew. Upom marrying Rachel & the beginning to build the house they lived since, besides mixing mortar & carrying blocks for Dad & others building the foundation, after the it was ready for the deck with his encouragement / with him & Angelo Fiocca Together / I was part of daily threesome / tru Roof top, some plumbing with Vito, rockelette, etd. Special time / Precious Memories In’Deed! / He will forever be missed ~Dante, Nephew-Bro.
