Domenic Moffo, Jr. Obituary

Beloved Husband, Father, Grandfather, Brother and Friend

It is with broken hearts that we share the passing of our beloved husband and father Domenic Moffo Jr. While surrounded in the loving embrace of his family, Dom passed on to be with the Lord on Monday, January 27, 2025 at St. Mary’s Hospital. He was the loving husband of Rosalyn (DeVito) Moffo for 50 wonderful years this March. Born May 12, 1951 in Waterbury, Dom was the only son of the late Domenic Moffo Sr. and Albina (Liberatore) Moffo.

Dom graduated from Sacred Heart High School and earned his Associate’s degree from Mattatuck College now known as Naugatuck Valley Community College. After working for his father for many years at Dom Moffo Trucking, Dom purchased his own Western Star dump truck and owned and operated DMJR Transport LLC, which he dedicated more than 28 years to before retiring. He was a lifelong member of the Teamsters Local 677. Domenic was meticulous, disciplined and exact. All qualities which were evident in the mirror-like finish of his 2001 Western Star Dump Truck and 70 SS Nova.

He had many favorites: trucking, racing cars and karate. Dom had multiple black belt degrees in various styles in the Martial Arts. He established Moffo’s Universal Martial Arts in Prospect from 1990-1999. He was a member of Tang Soo Do and the United Fighting Arts Federation (UFAF). He mentored many students including youths and adults throughout the years and some of which became lifelong friends.

Dom’s greatest joy was his family. Huge family gatherings for various occasions and holidays including Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Easter. Conversations and laughter brought him so much joy. His precious granddaughter Charlotte was the apple of his eye. Being with his pups Abby and Lacey surrounded by his loving family brought him comfort in his long illness. His contagious smile was always evident and brightest when in the presence of his family and friends. Dom was a man of great faith dedicated to God and his family. He leaves a strong legacy of love and dedication to his wife, children, grandchild, family and friends. His love lives on in them all.

Left to cherish his love and honor his memory, in addition to his wife Rosalyn, are his daughter Tiffany Moffo Simpson, her husband John of Stafford Springs and their daughter Charlotte and his son Christopher Moffo and his wife Jess of Waterbury. He also leaves his sisters Lorraine Bell and her partner Pete Bosco of Wolcott, Deborah and her husband Thomas Turner of Prospect and Natalie and her husband Thomas Sergi of Waterbury. In addition, Dom leaves behind his aunt Barbara Genovese of Waterbury and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends who are like family.
