RIP Dom :(
He was great as Burt Reynold's sidekick- the Cannonball Run movies, and especially 'The End'...they were a great comedy team.

Awww...I loved his "Muppet" appearances, and other series he appeared in over the years. He seemed like such a nice guy. :rip:

"Fatso" is one of my all-time favorite movies. Growing up in an Italian house as a child, we always laughed hysterically when we watched this movie.
Sad to see him go. He leaves this world with many laughs and warm memories.
So Long, Dommy-boy!

Aw - we lost another great one. I'll never forget him with Burt Reynolds in "The End".
Rest in Peace Dom. Hope heaven has the best Italian restuarant you've ever been to. :)

Over the weekend Robin Hood Men In Tights was on HBO and I love Dom's cameo in that movie.

He was great as Jeremy the crow in The Secret of NIMH and Cannonball Run.
I loved his voiceover work as Jeremy the crow, opposite another talent who left us too soon - Elizabeth Hartman. :(

He always had such positive energy. I agree with the fans of "The End"; that film is really underrated. But honestly, he brought charm and magic to whatever he worked on; his genuineness was so palpable. Loved watching he and Reynolds together; they were like Korman and Conway, always cracking each other up. :)
RIP Dom.
