Domenico was predeceased by seven siblings, including his beloved brother Ernani who passed five days before himself.
Domenico is survived by his devoted and loving wife Ornella of 46 years. Also left to grieve are his three daughters, Maria, Tina (Sherwood), Lorilee and his pride and joy, grandchildren Scott, Domenica and Nova, and many nieces and nephews will miss their Zio.
Domenico was born in Casoli, Italy and immigrated to Canada onboard the Vulcania immigration ship in 1959. He further travelled West and eventually settled in Kamloops, BC, while employed for CN Rail. He later met his wife Ornella in 1974, and together, they raised their cherished family.
Domenico enjoyed the outdoors and could be found mushroom or asparagus foraging. Moreover, he enjoyed playing cards, bocce, attending to his garden, and spending quality time with his grandchildren. Domenico always made every effort to make his family laugh, even in his final days.
Special thanks to all the wonderful staff at Kamloops Hospice Association who made Domenico's transition seamless and also to his family Doctor Swart.
Prayers will be recited on Sunday February 6 at 6:30 pm at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church. The Reverend Father Jaison Tellis OCD will celebrate the Mass in the church on Monday February 7 at 11:00 am. Interment will follow at Hillside Cemetery.
Should friends desire, donations may be made to Kamloops Hospice Association.
