      Dad and Grandpa, you were a kind, gentle man who placed everyone else before yourself. Everyone you met commented on your goodness, even on your last days. We'll miss you but knowing you're at peace, helps to ease our sorrow. The memories you left us, will carry us 'til we meet again.

      The family would like to thank the staff at Appleton Medial Center for their wonderful care and concern of Domenic and a special thanks to Dr. Paul Russo, Dr. James Heinzen and Lisa in the ICU at Appleton Medical Center.
