Dominick J. "Dom" D'Alexander
October 18, 1940 ~ June 18, 2020
Dominick John D’Alexander of Vienna, Va. passed away Thursday, June 18th at home with family. He was a native of Pennsylvania, born October 18, 1940 in Kulpmont, Pa., the son of John Dominick and Rita (Sufalko) D’Alexander.
Dominick was a US Navy veteran serving 1959-60 and was honorably discharged in 1960. He moved to Northern Virginia where he worked for the Western Electric/C&P Telephone company and retired from Verizon in 1992. First and foremost Dom was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and a wonderful cook. You would always be able to find him in the Kitchen. Cooking was his passion. He was a member of the EDW Knights of Columbus Council in Arlington where he volunteered as a Redcoat Waiter. He enjoyed playing Poker with a group of friends on a regular basis. He was an avid Eagles football fan until Sonny Jurgensen was traded to the Washington Redskins. Since that time the Redskins have been his favorite team. He also loved the Phillies. When younger he enjoyed bowling and golfing and still never missed a televised golf match when Phil Mickelson was playing.
Dominick is survived by his loving wife, Patricia (Neifert) D’Alexander, son John D. D’Alexander, his wife Cathy, their sons Christopher and Michael and daughter Katie and great grandchildren Daniel, Christopher, and Rylee; son Douglas D. D’Alexander and his sons Dominic and Steven; and daughter Patricia Beard and her daughters Shannon and Courtney; his sister Rita Ann and husband Michael D’Ambrogi, brother John, sister in law Barbara and husband Tony Toter, sister in law Sandra and husband Robert Fodor, and many nieces, nephews, and friends. He will be greatly missed by all. He was predeceased by his sister Gloria; sister Lorraine and her husband Charles Michalowski and their sons Charles and Jeffrey; and his youngest brother Joseph, sister in law Patti (Daley) D’Alexander, brother in law Eugene Neifert and his wife Mary Lou, sister in law Nancy and husband Ted Trefsgar, and sister in law Joyce and husband Blaine Kessler.

We would like to recognize the very special effort that was made by our Granddaughter Shannon, in taking care of her Pappap. Shannon is a recently Graduated RN, and insisted on staying at our home to care for him. I protested but she wasn’t listening to anything l said. I am so happy she stayed. She was a Godsend. I don’t know what we would have done without her, she was his angel.

I loved Mr. D’ALEXANDER . I enjoyed his jokes and having wonderful conversations with him. He was always jovial and smiled all the time. Boy did he make me laugh. He will be sorely missed. My prayers goes out to his wonderful family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Don, we all called him Don or Don D, and I met 56 years ago at Western-Electric Co. where we worked. We bowled in the company league for years. Then we bowled together for many years, sometimes three or four nights a week. We were in tournaments as far away as Pennsylvania. Played golf together for years. In two leagues, playing as far away as Pennsylvania. Once a month we would go to Atlantic City for two or three days. Later we drifted apart, but kept in touch with a phone call. I will never forget him. Rest In Peace, my friend.
Mr. D’Alexander was such a special person to me. He was father to my sister friend and felt like my Virginia dad. I remember he always had a smile on his face and a kind word to say. He made the best spaghetti and I looked forward to Memorial Day cookouts at the Knights of Columbus. My heart goes out to Patricia and Trish, as well as the rest of the family. He was blessed to have such a loving family and friends and created beautiful memories for many! Belinda Sites
