Domingo D. Handal

4/2/2021

"Baba, what for you want to go out and eat? Here you have the best food in the world with the best people." The best people and the best food-- that is how Domingo felt about his family and the amazing food his beloved wife Linda prepared for everyone.
Born in Chamelecon, Honduras, and raised in Bethlehem, Palestine Domingo Handal was a loving and caring husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. He met the instant love of his life, Linda, and they married at the Church of Nativity in Bethlehem, or as he referred to it, Jesus's Town. While trading imports and exports, he, Linda, and their growing family lived and traveled in Kuwait, Iraq, and Jordan. Each of their children was born in a different country. His business eventually led him to New York City, and finally to Jersey City, NJ where he established a deli and neighborhood ice cream parlor, the latter of which became a permanent fixture on Central Avenue for more than 40 years.
Domingo's passion and commitment to community are perhaps best exemplified through his integral roles as a founding member and leader of two causes very near and dear to his heart-- Jersey City's Central Avenue Special Improvement District, and the Bethlehem Association. In Jersey City he was known as the "Godfather of Central Avenue" and "Baba" to many, earning his seat as a community legend. Together, Domingo and Linda devoted over 30 years on the board of the Bethlehem Association, a charitable organization that supports the communities of Bethlehem.
He and Linda eventually bought their 'forever' home in Totowa and filled it with love, laughter, and delicious food, which attracted a revolving door of friends and family who were always drawn to the "yellow house on top of the hill", as often called "The Handal Hotel." Domingo lived a full and authentic life, and connected with people in ways they would always remember -- whether family, friends, customers, or neighbors.
He was generous, mischievously quick-witted, funny, and always ready for a dance-off or a push-up contest. His integrity was unshakable, and while he had much to boast about, he never once indulged. He and Linda instilled these traits in their children and grandchildren -- there is not one of his descendants that can say they weren't shaped, in one way or another, by his and Linda's guidance and love. For those that were there to shape you, never truly leave you.
Domingo will forever be remembered by his five devoted children, Vida and her husband Samir Handal, Vera and her husband Nassib Faris, Florence and her husband Pierre Fersa, David and his wife Michelle Handal, and Christine Handal; 13 loving grandchildren, Sanielle, Ramzi, John, Renee, Nicole, Kristina, Ramie, Alex, Andre, Gabriella, Anthony, Andrew, Michael; and his five great-granddaughters, Alia, Maggie, Loretta, Theodora, and Nora. He is now reunited in heaven with his beloved wife, Linda, and his siblings Kamal and Shafique. Domingo is survived by his siblings, George, Elaine, and Olga.
He always believed in leaving something better than you found it, and that is exactly what he did.
The family will be accepting condolences on this website. Please share any thoughts or special memories of Domingo.
Due to Covid, the family decided not to have visiting at the funeral home for the safety of family and friends.
A Funeral Mass will be offered on Tuesday, April 6, 2021 at 10 AM at Our Lady of Pompeii, 154 Caldwell Avenue, Paterson, NJ. Following mass, Domingo will be laid to rest at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery and Mausoleum in Totowa. For the safety of all, the family asks that everyone who attends social distances. Please note that there will be limited seating capacity at Our Lady of Pompeii for the funeral mass.
To honor Domingo and Linda's passion and hard work within the Bethlehem Association, in lieu of flowers please consider a gift to:

Please make check to Bethlehem Association Scholarship Fund. In memo line of check please write "In memory of Domingo Handal."

The first boss I ever had. Second to my own father he taught me the value virtue and integrity of good honest work. He was tough but fair. And he never hesitated to call me "lazy" when I had it coming. I often share those memories with my own two boys. My condolences to the whole family. RIP Mr. H... and thank you. : )

I remember Domingo as the more laconic of the two brothers I knew, with a sly sense of humor. He was warm and gracious, but never afraid to say what he thought. I know he is in a good place now, fitting for someone that led a good, full life. My deepest condolences to the family. I know it's painful now but time will heal and impression, and spirit, will be with you forever and help you when you need.

"Ahhh Baba" as only he could say my 1st job was at the ice cream shop with Baba and ended up staying many many years with him even raised my 2 boys downstairs...lol. I will never forget Baba came off as being a very serious man but also had a very gentle playful side for example i'm sure any of you guys that spent time in the store can remember the antique pogo stick he kept in the back probably belonging to 1 of the kids. Well 1 fine day me being me I wanted to try it as soon as he saw me he said " aaah Baba give it here you don't know how" he started hoping on it until the bottom slid out from under him and he landed under the sink. OMG how we laughed we could not even stand...lol needless to say I never let him forget what a great pogo stick jumper he was 🤣....Our beloved Baba you will be missed 💙

I am so sorry for your loss, he was a hard worker and it showed, took care of the ice cream store but also the beautiful garden, he would pick some of the vegetables that were ready for picking for the family to enjoy. He shared how he managed the garden and what needed to be done and how often, I enjoyed listening to him because he was very knowledgeable about many things and made it fun. He cared about everyone in his own special way. Will miss you Ammo Domingo, Memory eternal.

My deepest condolences to the Handal family. I know that it will never be the same from this day forward. No more Baba who's always walking around the house, putting chairs and rugs in place, checking the fridge for some food to snack on, always looking for bread, making sure doors are locked, turning off lights that are not in use... Oh I miss Baba... If he could only read this message, I would like to tell him how much I cared for him like my own father, even most of the times we were like in a love and hate relationship 😅 and keep calling me Maria, Richard and many other names. He was such a charmer, a joker, a singer, a good father and the best adviser. Thanks Handal family for letting me share good memories with Baba... I miss you all! Sending my hugs and love from the Philippines...

My sincere condolences to the Handal family for the loss of your patriarch. I knew Domingo to be an honorable, dignified, gracious man whose virtues are of the old school. He was a responsible father, faithful husband, honorable and dignified friend who cared for others and was generous and always willing to help. His sense of
justice and the courage he had to speak his mind is memorable. The offsprings of the Handal family and their in-laws and relatives are lucky to have known an exemplary, wonderful couple like Linda and Domingo who set a wonderful example to all who knew them. People of that calibre are unfortunately almost extinct.

I remember uncle Domingo many times coming to Brasil. Sometimes quiet, sometimes laughing, sometimes dancing, sometimes still, carefully listening my father talking about business or happy going to the farm. Most of the time, kind and happy just for being with auntie Linda and the family around.

It was not until I moved to the US, and lived with them for the first years, that I learned the sweetest and wonderful man I began to call Ammo. Behind his strict rules in the house or work, there was a hard working man, decent, caring, funny, always doing the best he could for his family, the city, the business, the people around him. He and Auntie Linda embraced me as a daughter and treat me like one of his own. And for that my heart will be forever in love for them.
It is hard to find words right now, as my heart is sad. I learned so much from him and about him while sharing the routines of the house, working at Carvel, on our drives and talks going to Jersey City... he was a man of great accomplishments in life, but most of all Ammo Domingo was a man of small pleasures, like eating his Arabic food, enjoy family meetings, gardening on his backyard, raising his children, smiling and joking with his grandkids...
He loved and lived intensely. He was infinitely loved back by all of us who had the luck to spend time with him.
Ammo, Rest In Peace. You will be cherished in our memories forever. Love always.

My dear family, between laughter and tears, many memories comes to my mind, cousin Domingo was like a father to me ❤ he always was with strict rules at work and also in the house. I lived with my family in Totowa NJ and used to go to work at Carvel with him, he taught me to work hard, to have confidence in myself , not to be afraid of clients specially when thy use to asked for Chocolate dipped soft ice cream cone 😊.. I learned so much from him. At that time working in Carvel also was Carlos there working and cousin Domingo always used to tell me.. don't pay attention to him ..he is a " Majnoon" .
I remember one day he told me.. I'll be back just going to bay an avocado take care the store , he came back with the avocado and he gave me half and half for him and I asked if we were going to eat the avocado with anything else? and he said..Yes, just go get your spoon and eat it like it"s fruit 😀 I wrinkled my face because I always used to eat avocado as a side with food, from that time, I learned how to eat avocado like a fruit as cousin Domingo said.
On ours drives back to Totowa, after a long day of work in Carvel he was always taking to me in Spanish and remembering Chamelecon and talking about his uncle Anton ( my Father ).

Cousin Domingo always will be in my heart, God has gained an Angel. May his sould rest in Eternal peace🙏.
Our deepest condolences to all my cousins and family, you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

We love you all❤

I was deeply saddened when I heard the news about Uncle Domingo. My family and I send our condolences to Vida, Vera, Florence, David and Christine. I always looked forward to our many trips to Totowa from Pennsylvania, visiting with Uncle Domingo and Aunt Linda. We always had great memories and laughter regardless the occasion. He treated me like a second son which I will cherish for the rest of my life. Uncle Domingo was a great husband, father, grandfather, uncle and business owner. He will be truly missed but never forgotten. We were all very blessed and fortunate to have had him in our lives. May God bless the entire Handal family during this difficult time - REST IN PEACE UNCLE DOMINGO.

Our sincere condolences to the Handal Family in the loss of your beloved Father and Sedo. He was an extraordinary man and left a wonderful legacy. We often laugh when remembering an occasion when we visited , and one of our granddaughters, Alyssa, who was probably around 8 or nine years old at the time, was fascinated by the deer in the backyard of the Handal's Totowa home. She was talking non-stop, telling Domingo all the factoids that she knew about deer and after several minutes of patient listening, he turned to us and said , " Who knows how to change this radio station ?" We cracked up! He could deliver a line like that better than any stand up comedian.
May he and your beloved Mother continue to watch over the family they so dearly loved and may the memories comfort you in this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Joe & Margie Micaletti

Dear Family,
We accompany each and every one of you with our prayers, knowing that our trust is placed in the promise of eternal life of our Lord.
Uncle Domingo is the nephew of my grandfather Antonio Handal. Unfortunately, I couldn't meet my grandfather, for he passed a year before I was born. However, I have always heard stories of his morality, virtue, honesty, passion for work, generosity, chivalry, respect for others and above all love for family. For this and more, it was a blessing meeting and sharing as a children with Uncle Domingo and to have had the blessing of meeting again a couple of years ago, listening to the wonderful Chamelecon stories, for in him I could find a part of my grandfather. All these values were also in Uncle Domingo, confirming that above all, they are a family legacy that defined us and must always define us. May Uncle Domingo rest in peace, may he shine for perpetual light, and may the legacy of the great and beloved men and women of our Handal family always live in us.

With love,
Juanki

When I was 17 and moved here, Tio Domingo and Tia Linda gave me a home away from home. I felt like one of their own grandchildren and retain the funnest, most loving memories with them and the rest of the family. When I brought in three boys into my life (husband and babies), they welcomed them with the same loving arms. We will miss your wit, stories and laughter tio Domingo, our "tio chamelecon", and know you are now in eternal love with God and our beautiful tia Linda. You both were the rock in the family and will forever be, as our angels. We love you always.

We extend our deep condolences to the Handal family at this time of their irreplaceable loss. Domingo was for us an icon of gentle wisdom and loving demeanor. People like him inspire the best in us and are carried in our heart forever. May he find peace in paradise and may the Lord bless him and his extended family.
We have lots of beautiful memories of our dear Domingo. When we approached him and Linda Handal in 1985 about starting the Bethlehem Association, they immediately offered their enthusiastic support for a project to bring together the Bethlehem Diaspora and to help different charitable institutions and people in Bethlehem, Palestine. They were key organizers of events and conventions for many years. Domingo went out of his way to make guests welcome which was important in making reunions successful. He served as vice President and Board member for many years. His wife Linda, daughter Vida, son David and extended family brought expertise and hard work into building up the Association. Domingo was a cheerful and calming influence at board meetings and his common sense smoothed out any disagreements. The whole Bethlehem Association membership extend their thanks for his outstanding service and their condolences to the Handal family.

“The Camping Trip”

Told by my son Eddie Handal, Jr. and my ultimate memory of Uncle Domingo.

My dad, his two brothers, my grandfather, my Uncle David, his father and his brand new
brother-in-law Sam decided to go camping for the first time in their lives. Did I forget to mention their friend and camp guide, Robert?
The trip started in New Jersey where they all piled into my Uncle Dom’s 1967 Chevy Impala station wagon that he fondly called “Carmelita”. They drove to the mountains of Upstate New York excited, singing, and cracking jokes all the way up. They had high expectations for a sure-fire adventure that they would never forget... This story will not disappoint.
My dad and Uncle Dave were firing spitballs at the driver from straws from the back of the Chevy. Soon everyone was covered with a layer of spitball snow. They were laughing like crazy and missed the exit for the camp. Two hours later, they found their way to the camp. It was dark by that time and they parked their car by a big tree in the forest with the ground muddy from fresh rain. Uncle Dom always liked to feel at home when he traveled so he brought everything and the kitchen sink with him. He brought meats, vegetables, cookies, cakes, even toilet paper! His new son in law, Sam was fresh in the United States and had no idea what camping was. While everyone was dressed for the event in camping gear, Sam was wearing suit pants, a dress shirt, and painful looking wing- tip shoes. The poor guy was the “designated carrier” of Uncle Dom’s camping gear.
The gang started on their journey to the campsite with Robert as their guide. With flashlights and compasses in each of their hands, they plodded through the muddy grounds while marking trees with white chalk in case they got lost. They all served as a feast for incoming mosquitoes who bit them despite the “OFF” they sprayed on themselves. Suddenly, their enthusiasm for camping was waning with each impediment they encountered. But, none was worse than the dead end that they reached at what my dad named “Bunker Hill”. You see, the trail they were on came to an abrupt end in the form of a ten foot, steep hill. It took them two hours to climb Bunker Hill with Sam carrying Uncle Dom’s camping equipment in what looked like giant sized luggage from the Titanic. Luckily, Sam’s wing tips were what actually got him up the hill with such a heavy load.You see, the points of his wing-tip shoes allowed him to dig them into the earth to propel himself up the mountain.
Finally, they reached the camp site expecting to be the only ones there. Much to their surprise, there were about five more sets of campers there who had been enjoying the day. They looked rested and refreshed unlike the haggard looks on my dad’s and his family’s faces. As they set up camp, they noticed a group of cars and motorcycles off to the side. Walking toward them, they noticed a paved road. As their stomachs sank, they realized that the painful journey they took to get to the campsite was unnecessary because the paved road led to a parking lot where they found a sign that said “ Welcome to Big Bear Camp”. This lot was for the camp ground where they were staying! They all tackled Robert for being the worst camp guide ever!

After forgiving Robert, they set up camp. Uncle Dom made an amazing meal from his trunk of delights. They sat around the campfire, told scary stories, and then went to sleep in their tents. They slept like babies... that is, until the bears came! You see, Uncle Dom left the garbage from the feast in an opened bag in the middle of their three tent set up. Everyone woke up by the rummaging black bears! Thankfully, the bears were not hungry for humans that night and went away when their stomachs were full. It was one of the scariest events of my dad’s life. No one slept that night and no one dared to leave their tent.
Morning came and the mountain police arrived at the camp site to evacuate everyone. Apparently, the bears had broken through the camp’s perimeter metal fence for some of Uncle Dom’s cooking! The boys decided that the trip was over, piled into Carmelita and headed back to New Jersey. They laughed about their experiences now that they were safe and were happy to come out of it alive. That is...until suddenly, smoke started coming out of the hood of the car. They emergently pulled over on the busy New York Thruway and jumped out of the car. My grandpa opened Carmelita’s hood to find her engine in flames. He and Uncle Dom put out the fire with an extinguisher my grandpa had luckily bought for his office. Boy, did it come in handy and just in time!
Carmelita was not driveable now, so a large flat-bed loaded her on its back. They all piled back into the station wagon once again, and were chauffeured home in style, high above the road eating sandwiches and drinking Coca-Cola. This incred

Domingo and my husband Gilbert shared many hunting adventures, and even attempted camping. One time, Linda and I were so scared because our husbands came home from hunting unexpectedly one day early. There were no cell phones at the time for them to call us to let us know they were coming home. Domingo arrived at his house first. The grocery store was on the street level and their apartment was upstairs. Linda was in the apartment sleeping when she heard the noise below. She was so scared thinking a burglar was trying to break into the grocery store. She heard someone shaking the door downstairs and then footsteps going up the stairs. She tried to call the police but the phone didn’t work, so she grabbed Tina, who was a little girl at the time, and went to hide. As Domingo approached her, Linda realized it was him. She was so shaken up that when Domingo gave her water to calm her down, she couldn’t even drink it. She told him to call me right away so that Gilbert didn’t startle me when he came home. So Domingo called me in the middle of the night and woke me up. I thought something had happened. I asked, “Where is Gilbert?” He answered with a very serious tone, “Don’t worry. He is ok, but “katalna wahad”, which means, “we killed one,” and then he hung up.

I thought he meant that they killed another hunter by accident. I was terrified. It wasn’t until Gilbert came home that he clarified what had happened. It turns out that they had shot a deer a day before they were allowed to. What a terrifying night that was, but now when I look back, I laugh about it. Love, Aunt Juditte

I’d like to add a little to my moms hunting story. I remember hunting my Uncle Domingo and my dad. We all had to required fluorescent orange hunting gear but uncle Domingo forgot his at home. He just had a regular parka. It didn’t phase him at all he just bought a can of fluorescent orange paint and painted his parka. Everywhere we went people would stare at him and wonder where he’s from. He didn’t care as long as he got to go hunting. I miss Uncle Domingo and my Dad. They were amazing, wise men with amazing wives at their sides who accomplished so much in their lives and for their families lives. Love, Richie, Rula & the Kids

Our sincere condolences to the Handal family for their great loss. We met Domingo and Linda in 1985 when we launched the Bethlehem Association. I remember the warm, friendly and wise couple from Toyota, NY. At our meetings of the Bethlehem Association, Domingo always exhibited wisdom and courage. Both Domingo and his late beloved wife, Linda were always ready to pitch in and help out. They raised wonderful children who are carrying their legacy. They will always be in our hearts and will be greatly missed. May their memory be eternal 🙏

A3mo Domingo was a really good man. A dedicated family man, a patriot for Palestine, and a lover of life. I always liked visiting him and his family in Totowa. It's very sad for me to see the older generation slowly disappearing, and along with them all the wisdom and culture that they imparted on us. Rest in peace, A3mo. God bless you and your family.
