On May 4th, 2009 funny man Dom DeLuise passed away.
My thoughts go out to his family and friends. While I did not know him personally, I did have the privilege of meeting him in the summer of 1983, when I was 12 years old.
Josh & Dom – Who Looks Funnier?
My grandparents were taking me on a trip to New York, Washington DC and then to Arizona where they were filming Cannonball Run II. (My grandfather was buddies with Sammy Davis Jr. who was also in the movie, but that is another story)
I was too shy to ask to have my picture taken, but at my grandfather’s insistence I summoned up the courage. I remember Dom could not have been nicer. Not only did he say yes, he put his cape around me and cracked a few jokes. He made me feel like one of the guys.
It was a moment I will never forget.
To Dom’s family – my deepest condolences on your loss. To Dom, thanks for all the laughs over all the years- and thanks for making a shy, dorky 12 year old boy feel so special.
