Dom was a terrific friend and a faithful Academy classmate.  We spent many hours together at the Academy working on flag routines in Dahlgren Hall and enjoying time off away from the "Yard."  His parents graciously invited me into their home a number of times.  His entire family treated me as family, and for that I will be forever grateful.  I will miss Dom's infectious joy and enthusiasm.  He was a true friend.

I loved Dom.  He was my Manager at BAE System from 1999-2001.  Dom was a class act and extremely great guy to work with.  He would always bake these great cakes for our Christmas parties.  Dom will be missed.

Dom, having lived with you and your family in the Navy Circle at Camp David, graduating with you at Catoctin High Class of 73. As we seperated paths  you going into the Navy, Me the Air Force I seem to have lost touch with you for all these years. For that I am very sorry, and now hearing of your parting it will be hard to understand. You were one of the great ones, peace be with you forever.

So saddened to hear of Dom's passing.  Having been his roommate at the Naval Academy and finding out that my girl and now wife was a classmates of Dom, we always wondered how he was doing.  Fair winds and following seas to you Dom and may God comfort your family and friends.

Task Force 100 was sorry to recently learn of the departure of our friend Dom Baysic.
Dom was the founder of same scale RC ship modeling in the US and taught me a lot of ship modeling techniques.  He was also a great cook and baker.  Rest well my friend.  Sincerely Dennis Smith, Jim Wheeler, Kurt Faust & Francine Serratore.

I'm very saddened to learn of Dom's passing...he was one of the nicest guys with chivalry in our class of '73-I remember teasing him in band class; Catoctin High School. Sincere condolences to the family at this difficult time. -cindy

So sorry to finally hear about Dom.  He was in my high school class and chorus.  We are planning a HS reunion and he really wanted to come to our last one and I was hoping he could make this one.  He was a wonderful person!  Vickie Sayler Novak, Catoctin High School, Thurmont, MD

So sorry to hear of Dom's passing. He was my first choir director when I moved to the South Jersey area. He had great passion and energy for singing and performing. He will be greatly missed.

Sadly, I just found out about Dom's passing.  I served with Dom on the USS RK Turner in the seventies.  We had a band aboard, "Hurricane", where I was the drummer.  We played all over the Caribbean and Mediterranean.  Dom was an Ensign at the time and volunteered to be our "Band Officer", as well as playing horn with us.  To his family – Ensign Dom Baysic impressed this young sailor then and set leadership examples for me I still follow today.  This world is a lesser place without him.
Respectfully,

Dom and I went to the RK Turner together out of Annapolis as grads from '77.  He was a great shipmate and buddy and a very giving and caring guy.  He put together our 79 cruise book single-handedly and was great with a camera.  I'm so sorry for your loss.

Dom, I was shocked and saddened to read in Shipmate's “Last Call” of your passing. I remember us singing together in the Catholic Choir back at the “Boat School” and enjoying your family's hospitality whenever I would visit them. In fact, you'll remember it was at one of these visits that I was introduced to a fellow midshipman who would later introduce me to his sister. I would then go on to marry Rowena – 35 years this May. Fair winds and following seas, my friend, and my sincerest condolences to the Baysic family.  Rey '77

He was a great "Brother In Harmony" and we all loved him.  I am sorry to see him go!

Oh Dom. Missed you so much at the Brothers Sing out. First one I went to without you. Missed hanging with you, talking with you and kept looking at your spot in the front line. Praying for your family for comfort and peace. You were the brother I never had. Love and miss you. Carol

Ah, shipmate, I just heard.  Years after D&B and Youngster cruise, you will not be forgotten by those of us who stood with you.  Dave '77

Our kindest, most caring and loyal friend, we could always depend on Dom.  He was a friend who made life worth living, and we are so grateful he was a part of our lives.  We will miss him forever.  "I'll Be Seeing You," good friend.

I've been reading the lovely tributes to Dom . Tears are running down my face. He was an amazing man...an angel. I am thankful for the time he was a part of my life. All my love to you.

Served on board USS Richmond K. Turner with Dom. Sad to hear of his passing.

Fil, Dennis, Jake, Josh, Joey, Fay and the rest of the family:
Although I had never met Dom I felt like I knew him. Fil and Dennis would tell me about his cakes. I cannot say enough how happy I am to have met Dennis and Fil. They have meant to much to me both as Navy friends and as personal friends. The Baysic family is an amazing Navy family. Fair winds and following seas to Dom and my condolences to the entire family. But looking at pictures and reading the notes in this book it looks to me like he left quite a legacy of love and enjoyment of life. Those memories are precious and are what gets everyone through these hard times. 
John and I are thinking of you and thank you for enriching my life.

Dom you will be forever in our hearts.  Amazing person and friend.  You will be missed.  Our prayers go to the family.

While the loss of a loved one is never easy, it is most certainly the hardest when they are taken from us too soon.

We offer our sincere condolence and deepest sympathy on your loss. May the outpouring of sympathy, the kind acts of friends and strangers and the comfort in knowing that your loss is felt by many, help you through this difficult time.

I pray for God's blessings on you and your wonderful family. May you find the courage and strength to move forward in peace and in knowing he lived a wonderful and full life.

Dom was a unique blend of infectious optimism, refined talent and professionalism wrapped in humor and love of Navy and country. His position with us will will be filled, but the void formed by his untimely departure will not. I wish solace and blessings for his family and friends. I thank God for the time he was here to brighten our days.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Baysic,
Your son touched so many lives, and his
talents will be missed by all who had the
pleasure to know him.

Pete Kandle

Dom was a man of many talents.To me Dom was one of the most important guys in my life when I was growing up. I started singing with the pine barons when I was 11 years old. It was an amazing experience. Dom was the guy who Showed me how to sell a song to an audience and move to the music while on the stage. Everytime I sing I will always remember what Dom taught me. Dom I am going to miss you so much but I know you will be at the gates of heaven singing and making cakes for everyone who comes in. Dom I love you. I am and forever shall be you friend! Thanks for the memories!

Dom was a kind and gentle soul with so much talent and limitless ideas and vision.  A truly beautiful and unique person, we will all miss him!

What to say about Dom... A great guy that everyone enjoyed being with.  A person who could always be relied on.  Highly artistic and inventive, and boy could he sing!  Sure going to miss him.

Dom, you were a man of many talents, humble and loved by all who knew you.  You were taken away from us much too soon.  You will be sorely missed by all.

Our hearts and prayers go out to the Baysic Family.  All our love your Blast Family in Maryland.

My deepest heartfelt sympathy to the Baysic family. We have lost a truly wonderful human being and friend. A man who put his heart, soul and passion into every thing he did. "Gonna miss ya" my Brother!

Dom was a mentor to me, an inspiration, and a great friend. I echo the feelings of all the loving tributes already posted. Dom had so many magnificent devotions, like a jewel with countless facets, all polished to perfection. Everything he did was a labor of love - but not love of the product, rather love for those who would benefit from the product. His efforts to personalize mundane work tasks made every day brighter. We shared an Army-Navy rivalry that he delighted in ribbing me about, and that always made me laugh. It seemed like Dom had a personal relationship with everyone. He was ferocious in defense of his people and his values. I will honor his memory forever. Goodbye Dom.

There are plenty of acquaintances in the world; but very few real friends. Dom was one of my very few real friends and I will miss him greatly. He helped me get through some very hard times which I'll never forget. I'll also remember the many times he laughed so hard that he'd start coughing uncontrollably, then laugh, then cough, then laugh some more.
His creativity and talents were limitless but his devotion and love for his family was inspiring. My heart and prayers go out to his mother and father, his brother Tino and his sister Fay, and all their families. We love you and we'll miss you Dom.

Dom was such a gifted artist in many mediums including culinary, music, modeling, and more. Themed Christmas trees with each ornament made by him, completely by hand.  Amazing baker and cake decorator.  Fabulous chef. His artistic talent with stage sets was something to behold.  His fleet of models of Navy ships, which he made by hand, was incredible. The world lost a true artist, way too soon.  I can't believe he is gone, but I am humbled and honored to have known him. 

"The world was never meant for one as beautiful as you."

Dom had a way with eeryone. bringing out the best in all of us. from deserts at matisofs partys to stage presence to shows. he was always thinking of something different adn wonderful. thanks dom. pine baron and brother.

May God give you and your family comfort, in knowing that so many beople loved you. It was a pleasure singing and working with you.  
                                                                       Al Bellafatto
                                                                  An Easton Brother

May be the most talented, creative and humble person I ever met, who always gave of himself for the benefit and joy of others.  John Criqui (Riverton, NJ)

He was my colleague and friend.  He'll be greatly missed.

Good by Dom; you were a true gentle man.

Dom was a true gentleman and a man of many extraordinary talents. It was a pleasure knowing him all these twenty years. He will be greatly missed. My sincere condolences to his family.

Dom was a special friend and a Brother.
In a short time, he became a part of my family. Last July, he lovingly prepared my son's wedding cake. He also had a lot of fun evaluating my choreography audition with the Brothers:"Vic, you're so tight, Relax!" Dom, our loss is heaven's gain. Mabuhay Ka!

We will surely miss your easy going ways and culinary mastery.  Heaven just added another angel!!

Susan Brennan (Pemberton, NJ)

"The world was a better place, because of Dom. He was genuinely a team player. He was especially proud of,  the Chili Cook-off, and the holiday parties, that were held at BAE. His artwork and origami were amazing!" It won't be the same without him. I am honored to have worked with such a fine gentleman"

Dom was a wonderful human being. He was always a joy to be with and so energetic and positive. I am honoredy to have shared a few moments of his life with him. He will be missed but always in our thoughts and memories. 
Gino Terinoni, Brothers In Harmony

Dom, as a friend and co-worker you will be missed. Your infectious spirit always filled whatever room you were in. I truly appreciate the experience I had when we worked together at Aegis TECHREP. I am still truly shocked at the news.

Dom, 

I will miss your guidance, your teachings, your sense of humor, your picture jokes in slide presentations, and your jib-jab videos!!  The world has truly lost a great man!!!

A wonderfully creative and highly talented friend who will be missed by everyone.

Dom and I had a special bond.  As he was a Naval Academy graduate and I a graduate of the Military Academy, we used to have fun designing ways to best each other prior to the Army - Navy football game.  Dom, being especially creative, always had the best of me.  A true friend and fellow "Brother", Dom will be sorely missed.  Bud Miller - A Brother

Dom was a part of our home and family. Good, true, loyal friends don't come often, and we were so blessed when Dom came into our lives. Loved working with him with all the Pine Baron shows. Just loved being with him. There is a whole in my heart so big. All my love and sympathy to you, Mr. & Mrs. Baysic, Fae and Tino. My parents and Daniel are glad to welcome him in heaven. Let me feel your presence Dom, and God welcome you. I told  Dom about Judd, God picks the prettiest flowers and that He did again. Carol Forziati (Audubon, NJ)

Such creativity, energy, and spirit! 
I will always remember his smile, charm, and creamy bass voice.
May he forever be a front-row man in the heavenly choir!

Steven Ritz, The Pine Barons Chorus

Dom- You were a great singer and the Brothers will really miss you.

Dom was one of those rare good ones.  We will miss him.

His passing was so unexpected !  We all are in shock.  He was an Annapolis Grad and he prayed this prayer in Chapel.  I think it sums up his life! Dom, may you be welcomed into as a faithful servant.  You will be greatly missed.

THE PRAYER OF A MIDSHIPMAN
Almighty Father, whose way is in the sea and whose paths are in the great waters, whose command is over all, and whose love never fails:  Let me be aware of your presence and obedient to your will.  Keep me true to my best self, guarding me against dishonesty in purpose and in deed, and helping me to to live that I can stand unashamed and unafraid before my shipmates, my loved ones, and you.  Protect those in whose love I  live. Give me the will to do the work of a man and to accept my share of responsibilities with a strong heart and a cheerful mind.  Make me considerate of those intrusted to my leadership and faithful to the duties my country has intrusted tome.  Let my uniform remind me daily of the traditions of the Service of which I am a part.  If I am inclined to doubt, steady my faith; if I am tempted, make me strong to resist; if I should miss the mark, give me courage to try again.  Guide me with the light of truth and keep before me the life of Him by whose example and help I trust to obtain the answer to my prayer, Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.

A natural leader and a warm, caring friend.  I will miss you, Brother Dom.

I surely will miss you.  I remember when you first started at BAE and in all that time that I knew you I have seen you brightened so many lives including my children and grandchildren this it is difficult to mention all the special things you have done, but we all know and we will share with each other.  You will never be forgotten Dom

Words cannot describe the loss this world has suffered with the passing of our BIH Dom. He will be missed and remembered for eternity.

Dom was a remarkable man and talented in so many areas. Our parties and our lives will not be the same without him.  I am so glad to have known him for so long and I will truly miss him.  May all our happy memories of Dom help get us through this loss.

Twenty -One years of great stage shows for the Pine Barons chorus, More sing-outs than can be counted, and Many displays for the Pine Barons at the many singing contests in the Barbershop Harmony Society. Dom's presence, voice, and boundless creative talent will now be absent from our midst, but not from our memories.  God Speed, Dom. And get those heavenly barbershoppers singing!  Richard O Jones, President 2012, Pine Barons Chorus, Cherry Hill, NJ

   Dom was the true definition of a fine gentleman that contibuted so much to so many. It was my honor and pleasure to know him and work with him for many years. He will be sorely missed by the many organizations that he was involved with. We all know he is in a better place with no more suffering.

"A person who will never be forgotten who was very thoughtful, clever, kind and most of all a real pleasure to know and work  with for many many years."  I am going to really miss Dom very much.  My thoughts and prayers are with Dom's friends and family.

Dom, you will be surely missed around here, may God find comfort for you and you family.

A great guy with a culinary flair that was something else. 
Atleast he won't have anymore gout episodes!

What a genuine caring soul. Dom will be painfully missed, but always fondly remembered.  Jeff Borden - someone who thoroughly enjoyed working for Dom.
