Albin Dombek

Albin “Al” Dombek, age 75 died Monday April 19, 2021 at McLaren Macomb Hospital in Mount Clemens, Michigan.  Al was born September 5, 1945 in Hamtramck Michigan the son of the late Albin Dombek and the late Genevieve (nee: Napierkowski) Dombek.

Al was raised in Detroit where he attended and graduated from St. Stanislaus Catholic grade school and later the high school.  Following high school Al worked as an usher at the local movie theater until the day he received his invitation from Uncle Sam to come on down to the draft board.

With thanks and praise we honor Al for his service in the United States Army during the Vietnam War.  Al served as an E-4 Specialist and Radio Repairman, serving at Fort Knox, Fort Gordon, and lastly at Fort Hamilton, New York.  Al served in the Army for over two years before his honorable discharge and ultimate return home to Michigan.

Following his military service Al met and married the love of his life, Christine “Chris” Jaroszewski.  The couple wed at the courthouse in Detroit on February 6, 1971.  Al would also rejoin the workforce as a repairman at Michigan Bell and later AT&T, where he retired after more than 30 years of faithful service in 2001.

Al and his wife made their home in the burgeoning community of Warren. While living in Warren the couple raised their three daughters within a loving and fun, Polish household.  Over the years there were too many celebrations and parties to count.

Al was a hardworking simple guy who enjoyed the simple pleasures of life.  He was humble, kind, and generous, especially when it came to his wife and girls.  His greatest pleasures in life included tinkering and fixing things around his house, sharing a beer with his daughters in the backyard, or just chatting and “shooting the bull” with his neighbors.  He will be forever remembered as a good man who loved his wife and cherished daughters and their families.

Al was the beloved husband of Chris, and the loving father of Dawn (Donald) Bailey, Dina (Rick Nixon) Dombek, and Terri (Jake Clark) Dombek. He was the cherished grandfather of Kyle Nixon, and Tyler Bailey.  Al is also survived by many dear family members and friends.
