Dominic R. Dorisio

Dominic R. Dorisio, age 88, of Medford, NJ, passed away while surrounded by his loving family on Friday, December 27, 2024.
Dominic was a great person, a very loving husband, father and grandfather, and was equally loved by everyone in return. Dom knew how to have fun and how to make people smile, his mere entrance would light up the room. He truly made family gatherings and parties so much more entertaining. Dom retired from Ole Hansen and Sons Inc. and prior to that he worked many years at Eastern Non-Ferrous Foundry in Philadelphia. He was also extremely caring and would help anyone in time of need. In his leisure he loved to dance, sing and enjoyed listening to music. Dom's happy place though was spending many hours working in his yard, driving his John Deere and making sure everything looked perfect. He had a great passion for the shore; he enjoyed boating, fishing, crabbing and having a relaxing day on the water. Dom also delighted in spending time with his friends and playing cards. But above all, he cherished the time spent with his family and will be deeply missed by those he leaves behind.
Dominic was predeceased by his loving wife Alice Dorisio; his parents Martha and Anthony Sr.; son Bruce Bunning; and his siblings, Anthony Dorisio Jr., Marie Mattio and Loretta Downs. He is survived by his children, Laurie Dorisio, Sandra DiMaio (Ronald, predeceased), Susan Atkinson (Robert Gardner); Daughter-in-law, Diane Bunning; grandchildren, Earl Braddock Jr. (Tara), Bruce Bunning (Peg), Bryan Atkinson (Janis); seven great-grandchildren; sister, Tina Reilly; along with several nieces and nephews.
