Working with Dom for many years at Metro was a lot of fun. It was amazing to see how much pride he had in his kids-as people and as athletes. The passion that Dom had for following the kids sports was amazing. Each Monday was like sportscenter for the Erie baseball and softball teams where he would tell tales of his kids exploits on the field and how he was so proud of them. He will truly be missed.

I am so sorry for loss. I went to school with Dom at St. Athony HS. One thing I remember about Dom was his great hands catching the football on our 7th and 8th grade football team. He was a great guy and fun to have as a classmate. May God bless you and your families during this time. Todd Turgeon
