His parents were of Italian descent, his father was Basilio Dominico and his mother was Margueita Lucia (Camozzi). He had an older brother, Leo and an older sister Eva.The Vancouver shipyards is where dad was working when he met my mother the love of his life, Myrtle Sheward at Howdens Ballroom in the summer of 1944. Dad said his friend wanted to take Myrtle out, so it was Dad’s friends date not his. Dad said he went to the dance the following week and who should be there was, Myrtle. Dad said his friend was not with him then, so according to Dad he started to date Myrtle and that “finished him.” So they dated about nine months before marrying on April 16th, 1945 spending almost 68 years together as husband and wife. "Friends and family knew they were always welcome to drop by for a visit and play cards and you know that dad was always waiting for that hug and kiss."
