Conversano, Dominic
It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart we announce the sudden passing of
Domenico “Dominic” Conversano on October 26, 2017, while vacationing in
Las Vegas.
Born in Accadia Foggia Italy in 1951, Dominic immigrated with his parents
Michele Conversano (predeceased) and Giovanna (Salvatore) through Ellis
Island in 1954. His uncle Michele Salvatore (predeceased) sponsored his family to come over to
live in Sudbury Ontario. Dominic often teased his father, asking why he would leave
beautiful sunny Italy, to live in the frozen north. However Dominic loved
northern Ontario and the interesting geological formations, choosing
Geology for his focus of study at Laurentian University. He worked as a miner and
then surveyor for INCO and eventually began working for Rio Algom in Elliot Lake as a
surveyor, creating maps for underground. Dominic was an innovator and when
computers were introduced at work in the early 80’s he used them to automate a process in
the mining industry. This was the beginning of his true calling of creating
computer programs which he would do until he retired in the 2010s. Today his
innovative systems are still in use. Technology was his passion and he was always
known for having the latest and greatest gadgets. He took pride in sharing his gift
with those around him and would help everyone with their computers.
Dominic lived by the credo family first and celebrated his 37th wedding
anniversary to his beloved wife Christine (Terrick) this past July. Together they
had three children: Sarah (husband Marc Dumais), Michael (Nicole
Roadknight) and Joanna (Mark Porter). Nothing gave him more joy in life than spending
time with his family, entertaining during the holidays and travelling with his wife.
After the family moved to Guelph in 1989, they would often return north for family
visits, and spent many relaxing vacations at his brother Frank and sister-in-law
Jeannine’s cottage on Trout Lake, also spending time with his sister Nella and his
brother in-law John. Dominic loved being part of his wife’s big family and was the dear
son-in-law of Michael and Winnifred Terrick, both predeceased. Dear brother-in-law of
William Terrick (Trisha), John Terrick (Pauline), Michael Terrick (Cathy), Patrick
Terrick, Cathie Butler (Mark), Lorene Terrick, Mary Anne Zufferli (Joe predeceased) and Dolores Bayes (Brian). He will also be sadly missed by many nieces, nephews and cousins on both sides of his family. Dominic was also known for his great sense of humour and laughed every day. His zest for life was contagious, always telling those around him to “live in the
moment”, leaving many beautiful memories for those who loved him to treasure.
