Dominic Martellaro was
born October 27, 1948, in
Salida Colorado to Dominic
and Pearl Martellaro. He
graduated from Salida High
School before he began his
six-year journey with the
U.S Navy. Dominic spent most of his time in Colorado,
spreading love to his friends, family, friends and attending
his LDS church.
He enjoyed the Cribbage club at the brass rail with
John and the rest of his cribbage pals, as well as watching
his team, the Denver broncos. Dominic also adored bird
watching, making sure he never left the house without
his binoculars. Dominic worked hard all his life, ending
with 25 years at Schauenburg Flaxadux Corporation,
making lifelong friends, Bill Blocher, Linda and Chuck
Torline. He also shared a beautiful relationship with his
dog Toby, who loved waking him up every morning.
Dominic spent three years going to a clinical study
every four weeks in Salt Lake City at Huntsman hospital
with Dr. Ami Patel. He also saw Dr. Kristina Goutsouliak
and the great staff at Grand Valley Oncology. We thank
all the wonderful people who showed Dominic the love
and respect he deserved. However, after after a valiant
fight, leukemia took him.
He is survived by his wife, Barbra of 50 years as of
June 3, 2022; his mother, Pearl of Salida; his brother,
Gary (Janice); his sister, Sandra (Morris), Christensen
and family; Betty Martellaro of Salida; Aunt Carol
and uncle Bill Knifer of Colona, CO; as well as many
nieces, nephews and cousins.
We would like to send our thanks to our wonderful
card playing family in Delta- Aunt Anna, Debbie,
Carolyn and Patience. We always laughed, ate good
food, and shared family memories. We also thank Mike
Caroline Houser in Ft. Collins, CO and family, as well
as Dominic’s brother-in-law Ed O’Connor in New York.
We love you all.
Services will be planned for a future date.
