“He’ll always be remembered As a man, both strong
and good, Who gave his best for others And who
did the best he could. He’ll always be remembered
For all the joy he brought, As a man who made a difference And a man who meant a lot.”

Dominick Cocciemiglio Sr., co-founder of D/C Export, passed away on June 29, 2000, after an eight-month battle with cancer. Dom Sr. was a vibrant person, dedicated to his family and his business. After running the company with his wife, co-founder Carol Cocciemiglio, for 25 years, Dom Sr. decided to turn day-to-day operations over to his children eldest son Dom Jr., son John and son-in-law Paul Michalak all of whom have extensive experience with D/C Export. Beginning in the spring of 1999, Dom and Carol worked part time on a consulting basis; they planned to enjoy their semi-retirement at their home on northern Illinois’ Chain o’ Lakes tending to their vegetable gardens and enjoying the outdoors. Their plans were interrupted when Dom Sr. was diagnosed with cancer in November 1999. The cancer was aggressive, and doctors started Dom Sr. on a regimen of chemotherapy and radiation treatments, followed by surgery in February 2000. Dom Sr.’s recovery was hindered by pneumonia, which he suffered three times that spring. Also, the doctors found that the cancer had spread. Dom Sr. finally succumbed to his illness and its complications on June 29, 2000. “Our father was a fighter,” his children remember. “He was optimistic throughout his treatment, until about a week before his death. He was very strong, very proud, and he knew the fight was almost over.” Dom Sr.’s devotion to D/C Export and the people who make it

Regardless of his condition, he continually asked about the employees and their families. “That’s the kind of person he always was his employees were like family to him,” John says. “Every day, he’d come to work and ask people how their kids were doing or about things going on in their lives. He cared about everyone associated with the company.” That caring went both ways. His death was especially hard on the long-term employees, who have known him for decades. Every employee of D/C Export attended Dom Sr.’s wake, and most also attended his funeral for one final goodbye. Many customers also came to pay their respects. “Our father built this business on relationships, and the constant flow of people really showed how close those relationships were,” states John. “That support meant a lot to our family.” The funeral procession for Dom Sr. was more than 60 cars long, stretching almost completely across Franklin Park, Ill. At the wake, the Cocciemiglios wanted to create an atmosphere suitable for remembering Dom Sr. They created a collage of photos showing many aspects of his life. Visitors spent hours discussing memories awak-ened by the images. Because of his love of gardening, the family brought some of Dom Sr.’s tomato plants to be displayed amid the flowers. Anyone who knew Dom Sr. remembers that he disliked ties so much, he almost
