Dom Deluise...

Dear Dom,

Thank you for years of entertainment and characters too wonderful to ever forget.  I'm sorry to see you go, but I know that is the way of things.  No one can stay longer than they can stay.  Thanks for sharing a bit of your journey with us.

And now, because I think he'd want it this way:

Happy Cinco De Mayo.  Here's a story from last year to brighten your day as you lift a toast to the big guy.

*wibble* I'm going to miss him. Dom was a unique and lovely person.

His memory will live on in his films, and in his three talented sons.

*weeps softly*

Row, row, row your boat...

This is very sad. He was in so many movies I loved as a kid

aw, man...
Dom was so, soooooo funny.
And what a big galute who had such a great and fun-loving family. Who knows how people are in their private time, away from the limelight, but to always project such a fun-loving and positive, goofy attitude, and to have a seemingly endless supply of sons who seem to be just as well-adjusted in the humor realm, I've gotta imagine that truly was him to the core.

Truly one-of-a-kind.

One of the most genuine-sounding and best obits I have ever read. The many comments from people he knew and worked with over the years are just a tiny testament to what a great and special person he was.
