Can anyone explain why the July 19 article “Frantic 911 caller: I’ve got him with a cord around his throat” was necessary? This was a tragic event for everyone, especially the four young men who lost a father. They don’t need this kind of reminder. Neither do Keith Dominick’s sisters and their families or his many friends.

Yes, he had problems; many people do. He was loved by family, friends and a community of folks who want to remember him as a loving, generous, talented father who many of us watched grow up. No one needed this story; it served no purpose.
