Domingo Diaz April 04, 2020 Share this obituary Send Flowers Sign Guestbook| Send Sympathy Card Domingo Diaz, 85, of Haverstraw passed away on April 4, 2020 at Montefiore Nyack Hospital after a short illness. He was born in Barrio Sonadora, Guaynabo, Puerto Rico to Mamelto Diaz Serra and Agripina Villanueva Ocasio. He leaves behind his loving wife of 63 years, the former Lydia E. Cruz. Domingo came to New York in 1952 to work and establish himself on the mainland. He returned to Puerto Rico in 1957 to marry Lydia and to bring her to their new life in New York. During his career, Domingo worked as a machinist at a number of area manufacturing facilities, including U.S. Plastics, Tilcon Quarry, and Stryker. Never did a man enjoy retirement more than Domingo… and he had the hat to prove it. He spent his long retirement as an active member and officer at La Resurrección United Methodist Church in Haverstraw; as a “delivery man” bringing his wife’s delicious Spanish cooking to their children’s families; and engaging in regular, rousing games of dominoes with friends. Domingo relished his role as patriarch and greatly enjoyed family gatherings of any kind. Unless the Mets were playing – in which case this diehard Mets fan tried to sneak away to catch the game. Domingo is survived by daughter Nancy Rosa (Guillermo) of Garnerville, NY and son Edwin Diaz (Eileen) of Montebello, NY. He was a proud abuelo to grandchildren Jonathan, Zachary, and Joanna. Domingo was predeceased by brothers Efraim Diaz and Raul Diaz. He is survived by sisters Elizabeth Cotto of Bayamon, PR; Maria Diaz of Brooklyn, NY; Raquel Diaz of Margate, FL; Leonides Hernandez of Haverstraw, NY; Clotilde Torres of Rochester, NY; and Hogla Torres of Margate, FL; and by brothers Antonio Diaz, Guillermo Diaz, and Miguel Diaz, all of Puerto Rico. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the American Diabetes Association (www.diabetes.org) or to La Resurrección United Methodist Church, 24 Fourth Street, Haverstraw, NY 10927. Due to current Covid-19 restrictions, there is only immediate family visitation and no funeral service. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
