Dominick enjoyed spending weekends and downtimes coaching and/or attending the sports games of one of his five children, cruising the Caribbean Islands, travelling the world and touring the national parks with his wife, playing a basketball game or shooting pool with his sons, or watching his beloved Dolphins with his family, and especially his daughter Mary Elizabeth, on a Sunday afternoon.
