John J. Domansky, age 87 of Wayne died on Monday, December 31, 2007.
Born in Mount Kisco, New York, John lived in Brooklyn before moving to Wayne in 1974.
He served in the Navy during World War II as a Pharmacist’s Mate First Class. He served in several naval hospitals during his three and a half years in the Navy. He also served on two different ships during his tour. First on the USS Gardiners Bay, AVP-39, which was a Barnegat Class Seaplane tender which supported patrol and air-sea rescue operations in the Central Pacific and second on the USS Cumberland Sound, AV-17. The USS Cumberland Sound was a Kenneth Whiting class seaplane tender which served in the Pacific and was present in Tokyo Bay when Japan surrendered. For his remarkable service to our nation, John was awarded the Good Conduct Ribbon, the American Theatre Ribbon, the Victory Ribbon, and the Asiatic Pacific Ribbon.
After the war, John’s professional career brought him to GAF Corporation as a credit manager. GAF is a large manufacturer of building materials and he worked there up until his retirement.
His greatest joy in life, second to his wife, was gardening. John absolutely loved to garden and always had an abundant harvest of fruits and vegetables, as well as fresh flowers. He also enjoyed bird watching and feeding the many wild birds that came to his garden. He was also an avid reader and almost always had a book in his hand – any kind of book, it didn’t matter, as long as he was reading he was happy. Crossword puzzles were another favorite of his.
John loved his wife Helen very much and doted on her until her death in 2001. Although they never had any children of their own, John and Helen had a large family of nieces and nephews that they loved very much. After Helen passed away, John focused his love and attention on his many nieces, nephews, and friends.
John is survived by two nieces and six nephews: Andrea Perez (Walcutt) and her husband Mark of Woodstock, New York; Barbara DiDio of Brooklyn, New York; John Clifford (J.C.) Walcutt of Lycoming, New York; Frank DiDio and his wife Virginia of Brooklyn, New York; Thaddeus Walcutt of Ruckersville, Virginia; Andrew Walcutt of Newport News, Virginia; Daniel DiDio of Weehawken, New Jersey; and Gregory Walcutt of Mechanicsville, Maryland.
