PUBLIC SAFETY, EMS DISPATCHER
WATERBURY - John R. DiMasso, age 58, of Waterbury passed away peacefully on Wednesday April 22, 2020 at his home surrounded by the love and comfort of his family after a short but courageous battle with cancer. He was the widower of Karin (Salisbury) DiMasso and the husband of Patricia (Moran) DiMasso.
John was born October 7th 1961 in Waterbury, CT the son of Ralph and Elizabeth (Moore) DiMasso. He was a graduate of Holy Cross High School and had a long career in Emergency Services. John spent over 30 years working with Campion Ambulance where he held various positions such as Chair Car/Livery Manager and Communications Supervisor. Most recently, John was working for NorthWest CT Public Safety Communications and was a senior communicator primarily at the Waterbury Fire Division. John was a longtime and active member of the Waterbury AOH and St. Francis CYO. He was an avid NASCAR, Boston Red Sox, and NY Giants Fan. John, also known as JDAWG, shared his love for music over many weekends with his cherished friends at Howard's Café as their DJ and leading them in karaoke.
His long career and dedication to public safety was matched only by his dedication to his family. Over many years he spent the summers creating unforgettable memories while camping with his sister in law Christa and her husband Richard Casey, his nieces and nephew and his daughters. John enjoyed each and every day to the fullest and was a man of great faith. A dedicated husband, father, son, brother and friend, John will be greatly missed by all who were blessed to know and love him.
Left to honor his legacy and cherish his love and memory, besides his wife Patricia of 7 years and his parents, are his daughters; Jennifer Reynolds and her husband, Brian and their daughter, Emma of Naugatuck, and Stephanie Flynn and her husband, Brian and their son, Callan of East Hampton, CT. John also leaves his step-sons Michael Rollinson of Jackson Hole, WY and Dan Rollinson of Seymour, CT. In addition, he also leaves his siblings; Jane Pinho of Prospect, David DiMasso of Waterbury, and Maria DiMasso of Waterbury, as well as several nieces, nephews, other extended family members and many friends. John was pre-deceased by his loving brother-in-law George Pinho.
The family would like to sincerely thank all of his family at NorthWest CT Public Safety for all their continued support, kindness, and love to John and our family. Additionally, the family expresses gratitude to Dr. Victor Chang and his staff from the Harold Leever Cancer Center, the Hartford Healthcare Hospice Team, and all Waterbury First Responders.
