[@sr.alligator7569]

I miss Dom, his warm and funny personality made the world a better place.

What an awesome guy. It would have made my life whole if I got a hug from him. I was really upset when the media didn't announce his passing. Rest in peace big guy.

[@elinlloyd2792]

RIP, Dom. You were so extraordinary. I really enjoyed your work throughout the years. You seemed like such a nice, loving and happy person. You made me laugh so much. You left quite a legacy and you will never be forgotten. You live on in your sons who are talented and funny just like you were. I’m sure you are looking down on them and are very proud of them. Thanks for the laughs. You will never be forgotten.

I thought so much of Dom. Just like a family member. Like an Uncle. I just bought an Agfa "low fade" print recently of "Silent Movie". It's a 16mm theatrical print. my favorite of Dom's films. I will treasure it for the rest of my life .Also I have a very RARE 16mm kinescope of your 1968 variety show on CBS. God Bless You Dom Now In Heaven. Plus May God Bless Your Family Too During This Time Of Loss. To Your Wife & Sons God Bless You! Sincerely, --Tom Pennock Battle Creek, Michigan USA

[@averageman019]

I can tell what a wonderful soul he was. I miss you Dom.

[@mikeycapp1]

What a thoughtful and creative showman the great Dom Deluise! Makes me so proud of my Italian Heritage here was a man who did not fit the stereotypes sometimes associated with our Italian Background. Dom conducted himself with aplomb and I always viewed him as a humble and decent human being. Rest in Peace Mr Deluise you are missed!!

[@Seanmystaa]

Part of growing up for me was watching this man, articulate, funny, and as you said tears of laughter are. . . . well just simply the best to shed.

[@TheMrgaztop]

Love you Dom, You made an Englishman cry with laughter. I love your humanity, and I love your honesty. God took you too early mate. Bless your heart. Hope I meet you in heaven. Gazza xxxxxx

[@ryansavage8053]

Thank you Dom for all the memories. I still smile because you, and I still cry out of happiness becasue of you.....COMEDY!

[@EarlT]

Great interview. He was a great man and will be missed.

[@janedwards5292]

Such a lovely man who made me cry, laughing many times.

[@zaprodent4129]

I used to love watching Feivel goes west and all dogs go to heaven when I was a kid. Thanks for all the laughs and joy Dom!

[@carlderossi6497]

He is one of the few actors i wish were still around to hug and tell them they are still the world to us. Too many actors today dont know how to be as humble respectful and funny as Dom was.

[@frankrobinette8684]

One of the most beautiful men who ever lived.

[@yorkie6687]

What a fantastic showman and entertainer, very sadly missed in my household R.I.P sir.

[@rafaelgomez1989]

ONE OF THE VERY BEST AND FINEST!!!

[@damondetschritter5607]

Such a great funny man. His comment on what the birds advice will be on comedy when the bird is 65 is one of the funniest things I've heard.

[@alrightythen6167]

He was always my favorite in all my kids movies I watched and knowing he was a leo makes me love him even more

[@Funkybassplayer]

He couldn’t stop laughing in the bloopers from cannonball run. I love him from that. Wonderful guy. ❤️❤️❤️

[@Craigmad2]

My name is Craig. It makes me happy to see people write stuff like this about my great uncle. I miss him so much. Thank you for this

[@garywilkes6520]

One of my favorites of the old school comedians. One of the highlights in my life was seeing him come out of the Fords Theatre in Washington DC.

[@joe-zj8js]

Amazing. I still use his meatball recipe. Glad to have an older dad that exposed me to all these great actors/comedians. I remember him first from american tail and candid camera. As a teen my friend had canon ball run on tape. One of the funniest movies I've ever seen. All star cast and its still stands the test of time

[@mustangcircut]

We all know you are Making the heavens laugh. God bless you Dom!!!

[@lathamarea1437]

He always made my bad days better with his laugh and love for being an entertainer.A class act.!

[@akabigdaddydawg]

Now HERE'S a guy who was pure of heart and funny! Loved everything you did Dom! You brought A LOT of laughter to this world---and by God we needed it. Miss you dude!

[@spacecricket]

What a warm, sweet, human being.

[@valhalesworth6252]

Met him 2x ..have his signed cook book..n spoke with him the whole show he was on with my cousin Bob Nelson..Dom was warm..kind..funny..n iconic

[@noherohere1]

A ground breaker of comedy, his talent reflected on screen, tv, kitchen, and the hollywood walk of fame. Rest in peace, dear friend.

[@rjplamf61]

would have loved to meet Dom. He seemed like such a great human being. we need more people like him in the world.

[@buggyroberson9922]

I have been singing along with your dad the song "Absolutely Green" from Troll in Central Park to my cats and they seem to like it...but I bet knowing how sweet your dad was I bet he had a hard time singing it the first time he had to...it probably made him emotional.

[@GunCollector007]

What a great man! RIP.

[@searaydrivingguy]

He was great in the movie The End i will always remember him for that i loved him

[@rosepetals1997]

This guy was the greatest! He kept me on my toes with his bird! May God bless him forever now he's in heaven.

[@Tatokun92]

[@felipesalgado6347]

Tatokun same here, his voice for tiger brought me here since I began rewatching the American tail series

[@mkgtr10]

He was a great guy and super funny.

[@fionapithouse9010]

I only just found out about doms passing even in England I diddnt hear about his passing I find this interview quite haunting cos some of the information he gives is revelant to me even though I know that this is old lol he was My favourite childhood actor rip Dom deluse

[@haydenwayne3710]

I met him some time ago. He WAS a super nice fellow!!!

[@stephanietheentertainer1989]

Rest in heaven, Dom Deluise, I'll meet you there someday. 🙏🏼

[@SparkyMarkyMark23]

He died around @ the time I graduated high school a decade ago. I missed him.😞

[@edwinrodriguez4418]

it feels like I am listening to Itchy's goodbye speech

[@demi8547]

Edwin Rodriguez 😭

[@billyshepard5514]

I saw dom in 1991 at the 3rd Street promenade in Santa monica. He had his white cap and he was walking with a cane then. He was going to a movie at the AMC and went to the back of the line .

[@banner74]

Dom will definitely be missed,loved him in "Cannonball Run 1+2","Smokey & The Bandit 2","Hot Stuff",as well as the countless Mel Brooks he appeared in,R.I.P Dom.

[@Blommabrat]

Rest in peace....You have brought a lot of laughs to this world...

[@Landrew120880]

That's fantastic that you have that kinescope.! Dom was the best in many ways. I think I enjoyed his performance in "Fatso" more than any other. He went from a hilarious dancing scene right to a somewhat dramatic moment. I imagine his fans loved him because he was always "Dom" and gave of himself so much.

[@TheInkPitOx]

I just learned that he was Coos in Dexter's Lab along with Stanley in A Troll in Central Park and Tiger in An American Tail.

[@Belushi87]

rest in peace, Dom. we miss you.

[@leawesomeguy827]

Dreams. Do. Come. True.

[@DodgerFanAD_23]

They don’t make em much like Dom anymore cause that guy was a treasure. 😞😞

[@XxTCOBBxX720xX]

[@kyeallen3416]

[@kingzambu6104]

Great Great man!!

[@68datsun2000]

One of the best

[@monalisa3214]

Wonderfull guy!

[@bigoldinosaur]

One of my childhood heroes.

[@MrCristoforoantonio]

LOVE him.

[@1f5sda]

I was sad when Dom had passed away. I enjoyed him as Tiger in the "American Tail" movies. I also enjoyed him in other cartoon films as well as live-action films. But, everytime I hear his voice I think to myself "I'd recognize that voice anywhere!" Anyway, we should be happy that he was alive when he did certain films we enjoy. Wouldn't you say so?

[@adrienhyland]

Dom was amazing! R.I.P.

[@spjfrat]

He was great.

[@TanukiCoast]

god bless that man.

[@thudor1]

He was absolutely transcendent in Fatso. The chemistry with him, Anne Bancroft, Ron Carrey and Candice Azzara was so natural.

[@residentflea]

You just can't find a talent like this anymore...

[@tdickensheets]

We will miss you! :'-(

[@biggkattj]

Sleep Well Dom... I'll never ever forget you in all the things you did with the Muppets, and in Haunted Honeymoon. I still have one of your cookbooks, that you autographed. Thanks for that. You helped me realize my dream to become a chef... Yes, dreams do come true.

[@soioioioioioio34]

The stuff he did with bird is helarious! Lololol

[@davidroman1342]

what a genius

[@dojufitz]

That bird was magic...... RIP Dom.

[@Squirrel36]

Dom was a handsome prince :(

[@OLDSCHOOLNEVERDIES]

great!

[@tompennock6369]

Landrew120880: Thank you very much for the kind words. Sincerely, --Tom

[@kenrutherford1109]

I remember seeing him in commercials for Ziploc

[@mcelsner]

I love this man. God bless him...you know why God blesses him? Because he was like God. He's awesome.

[@Watcherrye]

I doubt that his sons will see this, but I feel like I lost a really good friend when he passed. I loved the man on the screen, and so much wish I had known him personally in real life. He was a beautiful man inside, that seemed to ooze humanity, and love for his audience. I truly adored his craft and hurts like a b*&^ that he has passed. Sleep with the Angels, Dom. May God keep you warm in the palm of his hand and in our hearts for the rest of our lives.

[@LAComedyAwards]

It's about the same time I worked with him, he gave me an asparagus recipe, some advice on comic acting, and a signed head shot with his bird named Charlie. He was funny and witty till the end.

[@redbeard6666]

RIP, Tiger. :'(

[@dorisig]

The Best comedian

[@curvy71]

i always like Dom Deluise

[@skapunkteddybear]

"Fatso" is so brilliant. It's insane how few people even know of that film.

[@PearComputingDevices]

God rest Dom..

[@mariusboda]

best comedian :))

[@darthvalor07]

It's funny; it hasn't even been two years since his passing, but I still miss him. :( Heck; it's really difficult hearing anyone else voice the characters he's helped bring to life. Sure, they can find a replacement voice actor for characters like Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Maleficent or Winnie the Pooh, but that's just it. Some of the VA's of those characters just fit the show. However, Dom's voice- like the only version of an expensive painting or vase- just seems irreplaceable.

[@PictureThisNewMedia]

Lol poor bird!. This guys a legend. Rip

[@rexon31]

there hardy little things caiques i have 2 he’s beginning gentle for that kinda of trust believe me these guys can bite lol

[@robertosso5210]

Dom deluise here reminds me of for some reason Lou albano
