Walter E. Domino, Jr., 93
Walter E. “Walt” Domino, Jr., 93, went to be with the Lord on Thursday, July 15, 2021.
Walt was born on June 26, 1928, in Green Township, Indiana County. He was the son of Bonnell (Johnson) Domino and Walter E. Domino, Sr. He graduated from the Indiana High school in 1946.
On September 26, 1950, he married Twila L. Ling. They were married for 54 years. She preceded him in death on October 5, 2004. The couple raised one son, Terry.
After high school he began working at the A&P supermarket in Indiana. In 1948 he as transferred to the Punxsutawney store where he worked as the produce manager for 37 years. After the store closed in 1983, he began working for the Punxsutawney Area Schools in the maintenance department. He retired from the school district in 1998 after 15 years of service.
He was a member of the First Church of God in Punxsutawney for over 50 years.
Walt was a “natural born” athlete. He played in the outfield and was a great hitter for Valier until 1963 at age 35. He was a great bowler and horseshoe player even into his seventies. He loved deer hunting and taking long walks. He was also an avid Nascar fan, never missing a race on Sunday afternoon.
Above all, his greatest accomplishment was being a very dedicated and loving husband, father, and grandfather.
Walt is survived by his son, Terry Domino and wife Stacey, three grandchildren, Bethany Bovino and husband Greg of California, Terry Domino, Jr. and wife Dyna of North Carolina, and Afton Bracco and husband Patrick of Apollo; and two great grandchildren. Walt is also survived by one sister, Deloris Sonni of Connecticut.

Dear Terry and Family
So sorry to hear of the passing of your dear Father and and a first cousin of mine. Was not aware of his passing and just found out this morning while speaking to another cousin here in New Yok. The last time I did see Walt was at the service for his sister JoAnn.
