Deepest sympathies to Dom’s family on his recent passing. Dom provided physical therapy services to me as a child and an adult. He also assisted my mother, father and daughter over the years. Certainly a member of my family who wit and entertaining stories, songs and jokes made my visits a treat. Rest well my friend and thanks for helping so many people selfishly over so very many years….Mike Berarducci

Thanks to Domnic Schell I had a successful back surgery 30 years ago. The most memorable was the therapy before when he would sing in Italian and tell his stores and jokes. He as been in my prayers all these years for helping me heal physically and mentally. He is with our Savor and I pray for all that the memories created wll help get you through these final days and all the days to come.
