Domenico was born on April 3, 1934, in Amato, Italy. He married the love of his life in 1956 and left Italy in 1960 to seek a better life for his family in Canada.

Domenico initially worked in construction and contributed to many vital projects that shaped downtown Winnipeg. He later proudly joined the Canadian National Railway where he provided 25 years of dedicated service installing and maintaining rail lines.

Dad was a loving and caring father who always put his family first. Known for his incredible strength and resolve, he also surprised many with his generosity and kind heart. He especially enjoyed sharing his passions for gardening, wine making and playing cards with his family and friends.
