Wonderful brother in law to all of Huguette’s siblings in Montreal, Quebec. Loved immensely by his many nieces, nephews and friends. Dominic was a man who loved being surrounded by his family and met many friends from various walks of life along the way. He was extremely proud of his 28 years of sobriety. Dominic attended and assisted many people within the Alcoholics Anonymous Program. He was an avid Montreal Canadiens and soccer fan, enjoyed working in his garden, and tinkering with anything in his garage that had a motor. We love you, Papa!
