Dominic A. Calafati

Dominic A. Calafati, 82, of Lansdale, died Friday, February 2, 2024.

Born March 15, 1941 in Stefanaconi, Italy, he was a son of the late Giuseppe Calafati and Liberata Virdo.

In pursuit of a brighter future and the American Dream, Mr. Calafati emigrated to America on March 10, 1961.  He was a master tailor who, along with his entrepreneurial spirit, owned and operated Tony the Tailor and DNC Apparel Contracting Inc. in Lansdale.  He worked with fashion designers throughout the world to improve the quality of clothing for both men and women.

Dominic loved spending time with his family and friends, especially his five grandchildren.  He never wanted to miss a celebration and was typically the life of the party.   You could always find a lottery ticket in his wallet and soccer on the television.

Survivors include his children, Denise M. Calafati (Jon Forest) of Buckingham, Tina Calafati of Doylestown, and Dominic A. Calafati, Jr. (Trang) of Chalfont; five grandchildren, Joshua, Alexis, Kylie, CeCe and Ciro; his brother, Gary Calafati of Lansdale; and sister Rosa DiBetta of North Wales.
