Dominic Margarit

Margarit, Dominic A. of Chanhassen, MN, beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather, was called home by his Heavenly Father on November 21, 2011 at the age of 83 following an extended battle with cancer. Dom was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Pat, earlier this year and by his parents, Adele and Constantino Margarit, his brothers Geno, Leno, Aldo and Orpheo; and sister, Celeste Marcon. He is survived by his children, Joe (Patty), Michele (Scott) Hansen, Annette, Tom (Tami), Greg (Julie), Kevin (Carol) and Denise (Peter) Westerhaus; 23 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren; and by his sisters Rita (Carlo) Rigato, Doris (Rudy) Szturm and Anita Sawchuck. Dom was born and grew up in Fort William (now Thunder Bay), Ontario. For 25 years, Dom was the owner/operator of Dom's Conoco in South Minneapolis. He later worked for Lehman's Garage, Aqua City Irrigation and ADP. He lived for many years and raised his family in Richfield, MN where he was very active at St. Peter's Catholic Church and The Academy of Holy Angels. Dom was a man of strong faith which he lived daily and instilled in his children. He was a very happy, generous and loving person who treated everyone with kindness and strove to make the day of each person he met a little bit better. Dom recognized the importance of a solid education combined with a strong work ethic and encouraged his children to pursue their dreams and seek excellence in all of their endeavors. He delighted in spending as much time as possible with his family and traveling and creating lasting memories with Pat, the love of his life for over 62 years. Dom will be deeply missed by his family, former customers and friends, and all who knew him.
