Thanks Dom for all the laughs. You will be missed!

Shit. I get up this morning, come to Gnet, and this is the 1st post I see before I even have coffee. What a way to start the day.

His official website says:

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made to one of the following charities:

The Elixir Fund www.elixirfund.org

The Lily Sanctuary www.lilysanctuary.org

Hydrocephalus Foundation, Inc. www.hydrocephalus.org

The Pearl S. Buck Foundation www.pearl-s-buck.org


If you donate to one of these, send a donation with a note reading, "From {your name} in memory of Dom Deluise". It might be a way to get your name listed on a plaque somewhere with a bunch of celebrities and make the public wonder who you are.

That's one of the most shallow and idiotic reasons to donate to charity I've heard in a while.

I think MIR5 said it in the spirit Dom would have wanted: a humorous slant to his passing. He would have enjoyed reading:

"$100 donated by Humane Q. Paine, President of the Funny Names Club".
