Dominic DeFano Obituary
On October 22nd Dominic A DeFano has gone home to be with Jesus and the love of his life, his beloved wife, Yolanda DeFano. He was a man who had a larger than life presence, a beacon of light to all whom he's known. He has always put family, and others, before himself. A veteran, and hero, of the Korean War. He is survived by his four children: Diana (Bob), Dominic, Phyllis (Ray), Ben (Carolynn). Also, the seven great joys of his life - his grand children: Matthew (Rachael), Melissa, Michelle (Billy), Angela (Adam), Gina (Bri), Raymond and Cristina and also his 6 great grand children. He was a true fighter until the end - he never gave up. May his courage, strength, and love be a dedication to all. Never stop fighting. All Services are private. Entombment Christ the King Mausoleum at Queen of Heaven Cemetery. For more information www.cumberlandchapels.com or (708)456-8300.
