I just learned of the passing of Dominic. Dom was such a strong presence in my life, seeing me through times of difficulty. I am convinced he save the life of our middle son through his kind counsel. Dom has helped so many of my friends over the years, we all joked we should have a surpise party with all of us to thank him for helping us grow. Cheers to an incredible friend and teacher!
