WALLINGFORD, CT - (From Wallingford Funeral Home) Dominic J. Castlevetro, 85, of Wallingford, formerly of Northford, died peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family on Tuesday, October 12, 2021.

Dominic worked as a truck driver for Stop and Shop for 20 years and was a member of Teamster 443 for 40 years. When he wasn’t on the road, he spent all possible moments making cherished memories with his family.
