Obituary of Thomas "Tom" A. Daghini

Thomas "Tom" Daghini, 68, of Vineland, NJ, passed away March 21, 2025, surrounded by his family. Born in 1956, in Vineland to Frederick and Betty (Ruberti) Daghini, Tom made his mark on this world through his wit, his heart, and his sense of adventure. Tom leaves behind his wife of 45 years, Diane (Stampa); daughters Lauren (Jason DeHanes) and Melissa (Christian Palladino), who learned everything they know about love and stubbornness from him; his beloved sister Doris (Brian Wheeler, Brian Jr., and Joseph); granddaughters Juliette and Madalynn, who were lucky enough to call him "Pop Pop"; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family who will miss his stories, laughter, and twisted sense of humor. A true Vineland native, Tom was proud to be a graduate of VHS Class of 1974 and Drexel University (1984). As a proud Marine Corps veteran, Tom lived by the motto "Semper Fi," always showing loyalty to his country and community. For 32 years, he worked as a Civil Engineer for Atlantic County Public Works. Whether he was hunting with Piney Hollow Sportsman's Club, fishing, or just spending time with his family, Tom was happiest when he was with people he loved, preferably with a good story to tell.
