I recently learned of this great man's passing while visiting Lauderdale by the Sea. I met him there many years ago. We shared bald heads and many laughs (when we first met he was in the process of getting a hair transplant while I was wearing a visor with fake frosted blond hair). Best part is we laughed for 10 minutes when he realized mine was fake and he admitted his was too. We have kept in touch over the years via text and in person when I was able to get to LBTS from Chicago. Every single time I cried laughing (as did my wife when he visited Chicago). There was not a time I did not laugh when I was in his presence. He lived as if nothing bothered him. Absolutely one of a kind. When I was with Domenic, it was all about the present, as no problems of the past and future existed. I am very doubtful I will ever meet a man with a bigger heart and smile. I miss you my friend.

So sad to hear this news. Dominic and I have been friends for
a very long time. Recently in March he visited me in Key West
We had a lot of fun and great conversations. I used to joke with him
all the time. Wonderful, funny, generous, hard working man. So tragic to leave behind his loving family who was so very important
to him, he adored his grandkids and I had the opportunity to meet
his Mom and Dad years ago in Deerfield as well as his daughter and
son in-law and the three grandchildren in Port St Lucie. I will miss
your laughter and happy smiles. Condolences to all who loved Dominic. God Bless I will pray for the family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I'd often run in to domenic on my way to work at times, (on a bus route) He was on a lunch break, or other business runs, And he would yell to me hey kenny how are ya. Hows the family and other things. I would reply like everythings great ok. Brother Dude. I am so lost for words.
But to say he was the Kindest guy out there, S.I.P Domenic my Brother Dude Kenny Krals

My deepest condolences to the entire Paldino Family, especially Anthony, Chelsea, and Domenic's three adorable grandchildren. He was a proud father and grandfather and took such pride in sharing stories and photos whenever we had a chance to meet up. My heart breaks for each one of you, I can not imagine your grief.
May the memories of the love you shared with Domenic and the thoughtful, generous Dynamo that he was, lift you up and comfort each of you through the difficult days ahead~

Domenic, what can I say, there are no words to describe my sadness over the tragic loss of You in this world.
You made the world a better place. You touched so many lives with your infectious laughter and kindness.
You were like family to me, one day you just walked into my life and changed it forever. I will miss you forever.
I will miss the sound of your voice, the texts, those silly videos, the stories and photos of all your adventures, and most of all, the hugs. You always gave the best hugs! You were like a wild ride, so crazy and funny, so thoughtful and kind., simply the best!
We had some twists and turns over the years, but the bond could never be broken, it was all just part of the magical journey called Domenic Paldino.
I am so grateful to have had you in my life and honored to call you my friend. Surely, the world has lost one of its brightest lights, and nothing will ever be the same without You here. You were one in a Million ~ An "awesome" delight with a heart of Gold.

So go, dance with the Angels my crazy beautiful friend...until we meet again.

So much love, Janis XoXo

Im so sorry for your loss. He was a great guy, i worked with him at Coca-Cola. I was right by his side when he kissed the boxer Marvin Hagler, Coca-Cola had their 100 year aniversary at the Mariot in Boston, one of the speakers was Marvin Hagler, in the middle of the event Domenic and i had a brilliant idea to go up on the stage and say hi. Lol as we walked onto the stage the room became silent, i was first i went and shook Marvins hand while walking away i turned to see Domenic giving Marvin a big kiss!
In our defence we might have had to many beers.
My heart goes out for Doms family and friends and i send my prayers from Florida. Rest in peace my friend.
