Joseph Domenick Obituary
Born in Manhattan at New York Hospital on March 15, 1940, Joe grew up on the Upper East Side of New York City. He attended St. Ann's Academy Parochial School and later pursued training in electrical work at the age of 18, setting the stage for a long and successful career.
Joe was a proud and dedicated member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (Local IBEW 3), where he worked on some of the most iconic projects in modern history as a lead foreman for each job. His career highlights include working on the set of Saturday Night Live, helping build the original World Trade Center, contributing to work on the Chrysler Building, and even being sent to England to lead major union projects. Joe's work ethic, leadership, and craftsmanship earned him the respect of colleagues across the world.
On May 25, 1968, Joe married the love of his life and kindergarten sweetheart, Victoria (Vicki) Domenick. Together, they built a life rooted in love, family, and deep connection-first in Plainview, NY, then in Rawsonville, VT, and finally in Freehold, NJ, where Joe spent his final year.
Joe's greatest joy in life was his family. He was a devoted husband, a proud father to Deborah (Tom Aitala), Joseph Jr., David, and Jennifer (Bill Rock), and a loving grandfather to Jena Mauti (Anthony), TJ Aitala (Dana), Jasmine Domenick, Tyler Rock, and Paige Rock. His legacy continues through his cherished great-grandchildren, Cora Mauti and Atlas Aitala.
Joe is also survived by his beloved siblings, Roseann Solmosy, George Domenick, and Dolores Domenick, along with countless in-laws, cousins, nieces, nephews, dear friends, poker buddies, neighbors, and longtime union brothers. His warmth, humor, storytelling and boundless love touched everyone he met.
Joe loved deeply and was deeply loved in return. Our hearts are broken at his passing, but his spirit lives on in the stories we share, the family he helped create, and the lives he made brighter just by being himself.
He will be forever missed.
