Richard W. Dominik, 75, of West Springfield, passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Friday, March 22, 2024.

The legend sporting the big white mustache, slicked back white hair, and wardrobe lacking pants but only shorts, was born on June 24, 1948 and was the son of the late Walter and Wanda Dominik. Richard was a graduate of Chicopee High School.  He was a Hydro Mechanic for Northeast Utilities, Western MA Electric and others until his countdown expired and reached his retirement in 2010 and the daily 2-mile walks became a full time job. Rich is survived by his wife of 47 years, Beverly A. (Maziarz) Dominik, whom he had to ask to marry 4 times until she said yes; two daughters, Allison Marchetto and her husband, Matthew of West Springfield; Samantha Biuso and her husband, Bryan of Feeding Hills and his son Jonathan Dominik and his wife, Emily of West Springfield; five grandchildren, Gianna Marchetto, Georgina Marchetto, Miles Dominik, Micah Biuso and Henry Dominik that were lucky enough to call him “Dziadziu”; two brothers, John Dominik and his wife, Bernice of Chicopee and Nick Dominik of South Hadley; a sister, Marilyn Roy and her husband, Jerry of Chicopee. Calling hours will be held on Friday, March 29, 2024 from 1-4 pm at the Cierpial Memorial Funeral Home on 69 East St. in Chicopee Falls. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the West Springfield Youth Sports Association (WSYSA).
