During the war, Eddy would send and receive letters from his sweetheart, Lil. When he returned home in 1945, he married her and they remained together for 67 years. Eddy worked as an auto mechanic for over 35 years. He was a member of St. Bernard Church, the Knight of Columbus, Rockville Lodge of Elks, and Post 241 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Edward is survived by his two sons, Edward Dombek Jr., and his wife, Pam, of Minnesota, and Michael Dombek, and his wife, Jan, of Newington. He also leaves behind six grandchildren, Cori Mallott, Ryan, Kelley, Lauren, Andrea, and Jack Dombek; and five great-grandchildren, Gavin, Bennett, and Chloe Mallott and Anastasia and Elizabeth Dombek.

On behalf of President/Chief Administrator David Eustis and the entire Northwest Catholic High School community, I offer my deepest sympathy on the passing of Edward Dombek.

Because his grandchildren, Andrea Dombek '09 and Jack Dombek '13, are cherished members of our school family, we feel that Edward was, too, and we mourn his death along with all those who love him.

Please know that we are holding everyone in the Dombek family very close to our hearts this week, and that we will include Edward on the prayer list at our first school-wide Mass in September. We are very sorry for your loss.
