Dominic Phillip Pantaleo Jr., of Adams, Wi, passed peacefully in the arms of the Lord on July 8, 2025, at his home, surrounded by his devoted family and his beloved dog, Ben. He courageously battled cancer for 2 years, drawing strength from his unwavering faith each day.

 

Dominic was born July 31, 1954 in Chicago, Illinois to Dominic and Dorothy Pantaleo. Dominic graduated from A-F High School in 1972. He began his career with the Chicago Northern Western Railroad and later joined Union Pacific Railroad, where he worked diligently in the Signal Department. He retired as a Safety Trainer with the U.P. out of Chicago after 38 years of service. His dedication and work ethic earned him great respect throughout his career.

He had one son, Dominic Pantaleo III, in 1982. Dominic remarried to Roberta Perkins on April 22, 1995, and together they shared 33 wonderful years in McHenry, IL, and Adams, WI. United in love and faith, they built a life centered on family and raised a blended family of 4 children, 7 grandchildren, and 1 great-grandchild. Dominic was an active and devoted member of Maranatha Assembly of God in McHenry and Arising Christin Church in Friendship, WI. A man of deep faith: he cherished time spent with his family and loved working on projects, fishing, hunting, camping, and embarking on travel adventures. Dominic was admired for his wisdom, kindness, and willingness to help others. He saw the best in people and generously shared his knowledge with anyone who needed it.
