I just find it curious, assuming mario lanza is at rest on the west coast, why? As I recall, he hated Hollwood which is why he moved to Rome,Italy.
If nothing else,it seems to me that Mario, would like to be put to rest in his native Pennsylvania.
I don't know where Damon is at rest, but I trust that he is with his parents.
aww so sorry to hear about this.
damon and marc were my good friends during high school. we'd hang out at his house and his grandfather would be there with the little poodle. the parties would get a bit out of hand but damon was always smiling. the world is a sadder place without his loving self.

I discovered Mario Lanza rather late in my life. I immediately sent an e-mail to Damon Lanza, who graciously answered me - himself? I do hope so. He was absolutely the last living link to his father. I know he has a sister, but I do not think that she has a web page or an e-mail. I felt a little better receiving Damon's answer to me. I brought me a little closer to Mario Lanza for a few seconds, I think.
Thanks Damon
