Dear Millie – Just got a note from my Family Arnold and Dorothy Westendorf that Dom had passed away. He was such a wonderful neighbor and friend to my folks – Albert and Mildred Westendorf. Loved visiting my folks and having the time to visit you both.
We were in Oran 2 years ago and did go into the folks house but you had already moved. God Bless you Millie. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Elaine
