Obituary for Dominick N. Grimaldi Jr.
MECHANICVILLE - Dominick N. Grimaldi, Jr, 75, lifelong resident of Mechanicville, passed away peacefully in the comfort of his home on July 21, 2020 at 6:58 pm surrounded by his loved ones after a battle with cancer. Born in Troy on April 9, 1945, son of the late Dominick and Anna Curto Grimaldi Sr, he was a 1964 graduate of Mechanicville High School.
Dom was an employee for the former Westvaco Pulp & Paper Mill, the Carpenter Millwright Union, Local 370, where he worked for several companies during his career, mainly at the Kesselring Site in West Milton, and the former GE Plastics plant in Waterford where he retired in 2008. Additionally, he was a BOCES Machine shop teacher teacher from 1983-1985.
Active in his community, Dom was a long time member of All Saints on the Hudson Church, past member of W.B. Neilson Hose Co #4, past member and Commissioner of Hillcrest Fire Department and also held prior memberships with the Mechanicville Stillwater Elks Lodge 1403 and the Mechanicville Stillwater Lions Club.
Dom enjoyed hunting, fishing, traveling to Las Vegas and Atlantic City and was also an avid thoroughbred horse racing fan. After his wife and his son Dom's mother died at a young age, Dom committed himself to raising his son to be the hardworking man he has become. He was tremendously proud of his son serving his country in the US Navy Submarine Force, who is still on active duty at 22 years.
