" If I recall, Mr. DeDomenico also contributed generously to the Boys and Girls Home here in Napa? I've heard people in this town say very nice things about the man. Surely he will rest in peace. "

" I had the pleasure of working with Mr. DeDomenico for 15 years. He was a tough leader, but a true gentleman and always professional. He will be missed. "

" We want to extend our loving memories of wonderful times spent with my uncle Vincent and his family and ours. I am so sorry that we haven't been in touch over the past few years, maybe we can change this as I would love to see my cousins and their families again as we live so close to each other. I have so missed my uncle Vincent's company for many years as he was always there to me and was so dear to my heart. he will greatly be missed. Once again our love is extended to Vincent, Mildred and family. Can someone please call me regarding where the funeral will be and if you need anything please call. Love your niece Joan M Ricci, and children Angela & Peter "

" Our sympathies to the DeDomenico family. Thank you for all the contributions to the community.That will be his legacy. "

" I must say that Vince DeDomenico was a down-to-earth regular guy, and 100% a gentleman, not out to impress anyone unlike far too many people in this world. You'll be missed, Vince. The Napa Valley also owes great thanks to Vince, who had a great deal of foresight and vision that will be increasingly relevant in this age of global warming and pending "peak oil." Unlike many communities in the U.S., we won't have to rebuild our public transportation system from scratch, since Vince was kind enough to preserve a strong foundation on which we can build, e.g., for the most part, the railroad that has been here since the 1870's is still here thanks to Vince De Domenico. He saw the value of the railroad when many in this Valley saw only their own convenience and resentment against tourism. At a point where many people probably thought they saw selfishness, Vince also had the foresight to insist that the Flood Control Project take into account the needs of his railroad, but also the future needs of public transportation. As a result, we have the core of a fantastic transportation facility between the Vallejo Ferry Terminal and St. Helena that can be revived for everyday public use for perhaps the cost of two Trancas/Highway 29 interchanges. I now think it now only a matter of time until even the most jaded of us in the Napa Valley will come to understand the value of Vince's legacy, and that its outstanding potential may be at the heart of reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and for preserving the environmental--and economic--integrity of the Napa Valley in the face of global warming and peak oil. "

" I know a few people that work on the Wine Train and they say he was a great man to work for. Few people know that the Wine Train is one of the largest employers in Napa Valley. One of my closest friends worked in the office with Vince and loved him to pieces as a boss. He will be missed. ~Ruff "

" Vince was an "old school" true gentleman. A hard working and savy businessman right up until the end of his incredible life. You didn't have to agree with Vince about The Wine Train or any other issue, but you couldn't help but repect and like him. A very generous man who helped make the dream of a new Napa Boys and Girls Club a reality. We are going to miss that "twinkle in the eye" sense of humor of a dear and wonderful man. All of our love and aloha to Mildred, Vincent, Michael, Marla and Viki and family. "
