Mr Dominick Peter Tramacera

Mr. Dominick Peter Tramacera, age 74, passed away on Wednesday, October 7, 2015 at the St. Elizabeth Medical Center. At the time of his passing, he was in the hearts of those who loved him most. Born in New Hartford on September 15, 1941, Dominick was the son of the late Peter A. and Josephine (Argento) Tramacera. He was raised and educated in New Hartford. A proud veteran of the United States Army, he honorably served his country from 1960-1963 stationed in Germany. On June 5, 1965, he married the former Kay Riley with whom he shared 50 years as a loving provider and protector. Dominick honored his role as patriarch, and his first concern was always for his wife and children. Dominick was dedicated in his career as a plumbing contractor at the Peter A. Tramacera & Sons Company. In 1986 he was appointed President of the company, the position he held until his retirement in 2006. Dominick loved his family, his Lord, his country, and his career and he did his best to promote these values to his children through his example. Having his family together just to chat or to celebrate special occasions brought him joy. He was masterful at woodworking, a skill he used to improve every house that he and his family made their home. His leisure activities included bowling and skiing, socializing at the Schuyler Senior Citizens Center, and sharing good times at the occasional “Cousins Dinners”. In years past, he served as a Boy Scout Leader, a member of the Elks Club, and Treasurer of the Pugliese Society. A major mission during his life was keeping his family business intact and thriving as long as he was able. A devout Catholic, Dominick attended Sacred Heart Church for 20 years, and in 2005 he joined the faithful congregation of St. Mary of Mt. Carmel/Blessed Sacrament Parish where he was a member of the Parish Council and was a Pre-Cana Marriage Counselor. Dominick is survived by his wife, Kay; his daughter, Mary Elizabeth Tramacera and fiancé Craig Farley of Yorkville; his sons and daughters-in-law, Anthony and Renee Tramacera of NY Mills, and Michael and Sandra Tramacera of Rochester; and his grandchildren, Courtney, Karilynn, and Bryan; and Nicholas. His memory will remain in the hearts of his sister, Marie Humphrey of AZ; his brother and sister-in-law, Anthony and Linda Tramacera; his nieces, especially Allison Pritchard and sons; his nephews, especially Peter, and Mark; great-nieces, great-nephews, cousins, and his sister-in-law, Carol Reese. He was predeceased by his father-in-law and mother-in-law, John and Lila Riley, and his best friend Don Wickman. The family will always be thankful for the kindness and compassion of the staff of the Lutheran Home of CNY who cared for Dominick during his final journey. Visitation will be held Monday from 4-6 at the Eannace Funeral Home, 932 South St., corner of Hammond Ave. Dominick's funeral service and Celebration of Life will commence on Tuesday morning at 10:00 from the funeral home and 11:00 at St. Mary of Mt. Carmel/Blessed Sacrament Parish where his Mass of Christian Burial with Military Honors will be offered by Rev. James Cesta. Interment will take place in Calvary Cemetery.
