Beekman - Dominick Gasparini passed away on December 14, 2020 at St. Luke's Cornwall Hospital.
Dominick was born in Port Chester, NY on February 24, 1938 to Theresa and Frank Gasparini. He attended Port Chester High School and, after serving 6 years in the Naval Air Force, he married the love of his life, Carmela Mecca, in 1959. Her parents were Daniel and Gladys Mecca of Port Chester, NY.
He worked as an electrician for I.B.E.W. for 35 years. He worked for many years in the Sea Scouts, training people in boating skills, and enjoyed hunting, fishing, and traveling over the years. He retired to Hopewell Junction, NY in 1997.
In addition to his wife, Carmela, he is survived by his son, Frank Gasparini and wife Marilyn of Norwalk, CT; his daughter Holly Lucas and husband Bernard of Hopewell Junction, NY; his son Don Gasparini and wife Kim of Pleasant Valley, NY; his 8 grandchildren, Steven, Robert, Ryan, Austin, Natalie and Jason Gasparini, Krystal Delvalle and husband Ruben, and Andrew Lucas; his brother, Frank Gasparini Jr. of Ridgefield, CT; his sister, Maria Gasparini of Del Ray Beach, FL; and his sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Veronica and Stan Dahle of Clinton, CT. In addition to his parents, Dominick was predeceased by his brother-in-law Don Mecca of Pompano Beach, FL in 2018.
He was a very loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, and uncle, completely dedicated to his family. He enjoyed entertaining his family and friends with good humor and best of all being himself, "Just Dom." We will cherish and miss him forever.
Private interment was held at St. Denis Cemetery.

I always will remember the love I felt from you. You were the most important person to me and the only one I could trust. I remember our conversation that one time where you said “I’d do anything for you Ry.” It was the selfless love you showed me; No matter what happened I could count on you. I know you are watching down on me. I will see you again.

I met Dom thirty years ago when he hired me as a painter. He taught me a lot about the trade, and always treated me with respect. As a father in-law, he was kind, caring and very generous to me. He become a father to me. I feel lucky and blessed to have known Dom.
I will miss him very much! I hope I will get to be with him in Heaven one day.
Love,
Bernard

I have known you my entire life, Always with a smile on your face and a funny story to tell. I saved this picture Carmela gave me when I was 10 years old and my family moved to California, so as not to forget you guys. " As if that could ever happen ". I want to share this with everyone who reads this. You were always the loving husband and father, good and kind to all. I look at this and think 80 years later, " Still Holding Carmela's Hand," A true eternal love !
You will always be in our hearts,
Safe journey to paradise.
Love Lorraine

“The only measure of your worth and your deeds will be the love you leave behind when you’re gone.”
Dad was a family man who left behind a legacy of love for his wife, children and grandchildren.
Thank you for always making me feel welcomed & treated like one of your own children. You will be sorely missed.

“Goodbye to my Brother-In-Law”
It broke our Hearts to lose you
But you did not go Alone;
for part of us went with you,
The Day God called you Home.
May you have Everlasting Life.
Rest In Peace.
A Message to my sister Carmela, and to my Family:
“Your loving Husband, your dear Father, and your Grandfather.”
His Love, his Laugh, the Memories you all made ... together.
The Life Lessons he taught that will always stay with you ... forever.
Those are his Gifts to you; YOU ALL are his LEGACY !
Remember these things.
Repeat all the wonderful Stories he told you and talk about all your Memories of him. It will help carry you through this difficult time, bringing some comfort, and in time, a smile will help to ease your Heartache.
As for me,
I will always remember his lifelong Love for my Sister Carmela, and their three Children, and eight Grandchildren. (All have inherited his sense of Humor,)
And also, I remember his Love for my Father, Drake Mecca, ... (esp Gas’ special Gift to ‘Drake’ of the Boots from the NAVY ! ... and the Raft!)
Our Mother, Gladys Mecca, got a laugh out of that too, and many other things as well, from her Son-In-Law.
Thank you for all the good things you did for our Family, Gas.
My Husband Stan and I always enjoyed spending time with Carmela and Gas, having Picnics along the lovely Hudson River, sharing our memories of growing up in Westchester County, Boating on the Long Island Sound, etc.
We will all miss you Gas!
Rest In Peace.
May you have Everlasting Life.
Amen.

Dear Don,
I am so happy we got to talk before you went on your journey. I will always treasure the good times we had, especially the laughs! You did have a wicked sense of humor.
I read this recently, a question was asked “What is it like for somebody who dies?” And was answered” It’s the same as waking up after a dream. No difference at all.” The body dies, but the spirit that transcends it cannot be touched by death.
I will miss you big brother and will miss seeing your smiling face but know we will see each other again.
Love your sister Marie

Dad,
Thank you for everything you have done for me and our family. You were always there for us and always supported us throughout the years.
You always gave good advice and always had a solution to any problem or situation. Our home was a very happy and stable place for us and our many friends who always enjoyed spending time there.
I will miss you immensely and there will be a void in my heart forever. Mom is in good hands, we will always be there for her. I promise you that. She is strong, but she misses you very much.
I know that you are in a better place now and that gives me some peace. You will always be with us in our hearts, minds, and souls.
I will see you again someday. Until that time, you will always be in my thoughts every day.
I love you Dad.

Holidays will never be the same without you but we’ll always remember you for the kind, strong and caring person you were and still are. Thank you for all the great laughs and memories you gave us. We love and miss you, Pop.

Pop,
From teaching me how to play the game of chess to rooting me on from the sidelines of my soccer and baseball games, the memories I have with you are some that I will cherish forever. And although your vantage point is now one from above, I know that you’ll always be there watching over me. Thank you for being such a caring, loving, and supportive grandfather that a grandson could ever ask for.
Love,
Steven
P.S. I will look forward to the day I’m able to enjoy your delicious, hot chili again!

From discussing the treasure hidden on Oak Island, to watching Pawn Stars and Bird Cage together, my grandfather was my everything.
You were by far the most interesting and the most unconditional person I have ever known. You had a magnetizing energy that made everyone want to be around you. You always stood up for what you believed in and you made everyone in your presence smile. Every day I was with you, I felt as if we were starring in our very own Seinfeld episode. I could not have asked for a better grandfather.
You deserved so much more from this world. You will be missed!
I love you Pop.

Pop has been telling me for the last 30 years that one of these days he was heading back to Venus on a spaceship with his other friends. I should have known the other night when I saw shooting stars that his ship was on the way. Pop you were supposed to save me a seat! I guess I'll have to catch the next ship that comes through. See you soon Pop.

Dominick was such a nice, warm, caring man. My condolences to Holly and the Family

Dominick is the most important man in my life, he is my dad.
It’s because of him that I am the woman I am today.
He taught me how to love, he taught me to be patient, he taught me to be tough, and he taught me many other things that I will always treasure.
He never gave up on me when I had problems, and I always felt safe knowing that he would always be there for me.
I will not talk about him in the past tense because I know he will still be with me even though I can’t physically see him.
Dad, I will miss you immensely, and my heart will always ache for you, but I know I will eventually be with you again in The Kingdom with Jesus Christ.
So save me a seat next to you, and know how much I love you and always will.
You are truly an amazing man and that’s why Jesus needed you back home.
I will always be daddy’s little girl, and I will always take care of mom.
Rest in Eternal Peace Dad,
Love,
Holly xoxo

I first met Dom as my dad and I were picking up my first car,
1967 VW Bug, his side business. I believe this was payback for some doctor visits and care. I have never forgotten this or Dom and how the old Italians did things. So very sorry to the Gasparini family.
In loving memory of a wonderful and giving person.

May God speed his entry into the Kingdom of Heaven. May our Lord provide comfort to the Gasparini Family, and may Mr. Gasparini rest in peace in the loving embrace of our Lord, Jesus Christ. God bless The Gasparini Family & Mr. Gasparini. Deepest condolences, thoughts, love and prayers. Paul Telesca & Family
