Dominick DeMartino, 92, of South Windsor CT, loving father, grandfather, and great-grandfather passed away at his home on Thursday June 30th 2022. Dom was born on July 29, 1929, in Hartford, one of three children of the late Frank and Frances (Janangelo) DeMartino. He was a proud veteran of the US. Army serving his country during the Korean War. Upon the completion of his honorable service to his country, Dom moved to Windsor in 1955 where he raised his family. He worked as a machinist at the Spencer Turbine Company where he was employed his entire working career. Dom was also an enthusiastic woodworker, from creating fine furniture and cabinetry to producing intricate carvings. He was also the creator of several patentable inventions. Dom could fix anything. If he couldn't fix it, he would just remake it better and more useful. From cars, to furniture, to hand trucks, to vehicle seat belts and everything in between. He was always thinking. Dom had an engineer's mindset and possessed a knack for transforming common sense thoughts into a useful design. That design would eventually come to fruition, and he would create and build that thought into a useful item in his wood working shop. Dom is survived by his two daughters, Lynn Daddario and her husband Joseph of Yardley, PA and Donna Zyskowski and her husband Mark of Simsbury; Six loving grandchildren, Matthew Daddario and his wife Jamie, Brian Daddario, and Andrew Daddario all of Pennsylvania, Nicholas Daddario and his wife Moe of California; Grant Zyskowski of Brooklyn, NY and Marlee Zyskowski of Simsbury. His three cherished great-grandchildren, Kailyn, Luca and Marco Daddario and several nieces, nephews and their families. In addition to his parents Dom was predeceased by his son, Michael DeMartino, two brothers, Carmen and Frankie and his former wife Mary Chellstorp.
