Dominic Cletes Spiridigliozzi passed away on February 14, 2025, in Fort Myers, Florida. Born on May 23, 1946, in Altoona, Pennsylvania, Dominic was the heart of the family–a patient loving father, husband, and grandfather who showed the true meaning of kindness and strength.

Dominic was raised as a young boy in the Roman Catholic faith.  He attended Saint Leo's church in Altoona, where as a child, he served as an altar boy. Dominic graduated from Altoona High School in 1964.  Dominic proudly served in the United States Army from 1964 to 1967, during the Vietnam era, and continued his commitment to his country in the Army Reserves.  Dominic also served by volunteering his time as a firefighter in his community.

Following his military service, Dominic built a respected career as an Automatic Screw Machine Setup/Operator, where his expertise was widely recognized and sought after.  Dominic was highly respected by his colleagues during his lifetime.  Dominic retired in 2009.

Dominic found his greatest joy in family.  He met Patricia, the love of his life in the 1980s.  They married in 1994, blending their families and building a life filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories made at their home in Prescott, Mi.

Above all else, Dominic was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather who cherished his family deeply. He had an incredible sense of humor and shared his vast wisdom with those around him. He loved being surrounded by family and friends—cooking meals, spending time on the pontoon, playing cards, fixing things, fishing, and hunting.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Nicholas Spiridigliozzi Sr. and Catherine (Conrad) Spiridigliozzi; as well as siblings Peggy Spiridigliozzi, John Spiridigliozzi, Nicholas Spiridigliozzi Jr., Michael Spiridigliozzi, Donna Spiridigliozzi, Lonna Mauk, and Germanus Spiridigliozzi.

He is deeply missed by his beloved wife of over 30 years, Patricia; daughters Melissa Hunt (Lee), Therese Schrier (Jeffrey), and Rachel Gilchrist (Troy); son Dominic Spiridigliozzi Jr. (Crystal); grandchildren Dylan, Krysta (Adam), Brianna, Logan, Hunter, Anthony, Anna, Dominic III, Alexandria, Lauren, and Gabriella; great-grandchild Jayden; and brothers James Spiridigliozzi (Christine) of Lakeland, Florida, and Marcian Spiridigliozzi (Linda) of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He also leaves behind numerous nieces and nephews who will carry forward his legacy.

Dominic's legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of his loved ones, and his story will continue to inspire those who were fortunate to have known him. The family extends their deepest gratitude to all who have offered their condolences and support during this difficult time.
