Dino was born on February 25, 1933 in Astoria, NY to Angelo and Serafina DaRos.
Dino served in the US Army during the Korean War. After his service he received Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in Physics from Hofstra and Adelphi University respectively. His first job was at Sperry Gyroscope where he was issued a patent for a Constant Phase Shift Rotator. He also worked as an engineer for Grumman Corp, Mystic Oceanographic, Litton Data Systems, and the Naval Underwater Systems Center where he retired in 1996.  He was an avid sportsman playing baseball and football in his youth. In his senior years he excelled in tennis, and also enjoyed golf and most recently pickleball which he played through the age of 84.  Other hobbies included gardening, bird watching, and of course, playing with his adoring grandchildren.
Dino is survived by his wife of 53 years, Anne DaRos of Old Lyme; son Daniel DaRos and wife Lynne of Portsmouth, RI; daughter Karen Bachand and husband Rich of Ivoryton, CT; grandchildren Emily and Avery Bachand; sister Helen Popovich of Lexington, KY; sister-in-law Joan DaRos of Crompond, NY; and many loving nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by brother Aldo DaRos.Â
