Dominic J. Buonpastore, on March 17, 2015, of Blackwood. Age 88. Beloved husband of Mary (nee Venturella). Devoted father of Joseph Buonpastore (Patricia), Robert Buonpastore and Kathy Lucchetti (Joseph). Loving grandfather of Joseph (Christy), Robert, Capri, Tara, Dominique and Valentina. Proud great-grandfather of Michaela, Joseph, Christian and Juliet. Dear brother of Jemma Ermilio, Marge Locantore, Rocco Buonpastore and Anthony Buonpastore. Brother-in-law of Eleanor Buonpastore and Cass Venturella.

Dominic grew up as 1 of 11 children in a South Philadelphia Italian family. His favorite thing to talk about was when he was in the service. But his greatest love was his family, especially his wife Mary who he was married to for 65 blessed years. He loved music and played guitar in a band and also with his brothers.. When he moved to New Jersey he took great pride in his garden, which was abundant with the best tomatoes and basil. Dominic was the most unselfish person, never putting himself before anyone else. He couldn’t do enough for others. Dominic was sweet and gentle and tender hearted. He will be forever in our hearts and sorely missed by all who knew him.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend his viewing Monday 8:45 – 10:45 am at Our Lady of Hope Parish, St. Jude’s RC Church, 402 Black Horse Pike, Blackwood. Mass of Christian Burial 11:00 am. Interment St. Joseph’s Cemetery, Chews Landing.

We will miss Uncle Dom so much. He was always so sweet and happy. I will never forget when he used to come over to our house and help my Dad with all the outside work in the summers when we were young. I feel blessed to have so many wonderful memories! Rest in peace Uncle Dom

Am completing a book re Domenica Buonpastore's husband, Angelo LaMarca who kidnapped the Weinberger baby. Please contact me Howard Blue memrevs@gmail.com

My grand pop was known for his gentle and kind spirit. He was the epitome of a family man putting everyone else before himself. I will never forget the warm sound of his voice , or the way he would answer the phone never forgetting to ask one by one how everyone in my family was doing, and no one could ever forget the beautiful genuine love he gave my grand mom everyday for the last 65 years. I will miss his stories of the war and that big beautiful smile. He had such an easy, mellow way about him, never complained. When I was little and was assigned to write a paper on "my hero" it was always him. If I had to do it all over, it would still be him. He fought until the end and even with all his pain still worried about everyone else. Next to his great love for his family was his love for his food. At the end of his time here, he didn't get to indulge in this pleasure. So I am sure Uncle Al is whipping him up something delicious in Heaven. I know everyone has only nice things to say about people when they die, but this is truly how he lived his life. Everything about him was so good and pure. I am so lucky I had him in my life for this long but no time is ever enough with the ones we love. The world would be a better place if we had more men like you. I love you forever grandpop.

So sorry for your loss. Kathy Melfi Mazzio
