Obituary of Domenico Camilli

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our loving husband, father and grandfather on Monday, April 11, 2005 at the age of 78 years. Domenico Camilli was born on January 30, 1927 in Calascio, L’Aquila, Italy and immigrated to Calgary in 1953 where he was employed with CP Rail until his retirement in 1983.
