Dominguez -- After a medical career spanning more than half a century, Dr. Jose Amado Dominguez passed away in the company of his family on January 3, 1999 at age 89, from the complications of age. Born to Jose Inez and Virginia Rodriguez Dominguez in Chamisal on February 12, 1909, he was the second of eight children to survive into adulthood. The devastation he witnessed as a child in the great Influenza Epidemic of 1918 awakened the compassion of the future physician. Forgoing a family tradition of education and achievement, he graduated from Menaul High School and worked a number of jobs to save for college. At great personal sacrifice, he finally graduated from Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1936, one of the first Hispano physicians from northern New Mexico. Based on his office on North Pueblo Road, for decades Dr. Dominguez made house calls all over Taos County to deliver babies, set broken bones, and lay his healing hands on the sick. During World War II, he was a physician for the National Guard and served as Taos County Medical Examiner during the 1970s. Dr. Jose Amado Dominguez was preceded in death by his parents; and brothers and sisters, Henry, Polly, Isaac and Phil.

DeFlice (husband, John DeFlice, MD); grandchildren in order of age, Carlos Lamarid, Gianna DeFlice, Armando Lamarid, Mario DeFlice, Dominic Maes and Yasmin Lamarid; as well as his sister, Anita Chavez; brother, George Dominguez, both of Ranchos de Taos; and sister, Carmen D.
