Domenico MENEAN

MENEAN, Domenico 2008-02-01 It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of their father Domenico Menean on Monday, January 28, 2008 at Pioneer Ridge. Born in Italy, he emigrated to Canada and began working as a forester in Baie Como, Heron Bay, and then Thunder Bay for Ontario Paper and Great Lakes Forest Products for 40 years. He was never happier than working - cutting and skidding in Northern Ontario winters trying to make "The Bonus". Dad we always enjoyed your stories of growing up on a small farm in the Dolomite Alps of Paularo, Udine; surviving being shot in WW II; working the coal mines in Belgium, coming to Canada, and life as a Woodsman in Canada. Dad, you will be dearly missed by your family, may God give you peace and rest. Jaclyn your grand daughter will miss picking apples from your backyard orchard, beans and cucumbers from your garden with you. Predeceased by his loving wife Giacomina. He will be lovingly remembered by his daughter Cindy (Steve) McConnell of Ottawa, sons: Mark (Tara) and Dennis (Christine), and granddaughter Jaclyn McConnell. Funeral services will be held on Monday, February 4, 2008 leaving the SARGENT & SON FUNERAL HOME, 21 N. Court Street at 9:10 am to St. Anthony’s R.C. Church for Funeral Mass at 9:30 am, celebrated by Rev. Lino Santi c.s. Entombment to follow in Sunset Memorial Gardens. Following the Entombment a reception will be held at the Sargent Family Reception Centre. Visitation for family and friends will be Sunday afternoon from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm in the Sargent & Son Funeral Home 21N. Court Street with a Vigil Prayer Service being offered at 3:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Thunder Bay Alzheimer Society would be appreciated. Thank You Thank You to the staff at Pioneer Ridge for the care and compassion you showed our father.
