Dominador Frondarina Petilo Obituary (1954

Dominador Petilo, 62, passed away on October 12, 2016 in Seattle, WA, surrounded by his loved ones. He is survived by his wife Ligaya of 36 years, his three children Marella, Angela, and Brian Petilo, and his sister Erlinda. Dominador was a loving husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend to all who knew him. Dominador loved to tinker with many things, and enjoyed such hobbies that included carpentry, building PCs, and cooking. He was helpful with many things, and one learned that they could depend upon Dominador in their time of need. Whether it was a technical issue, a toilet that needed fixing, or the emotional support of a kind soul, Dominador was always willing to help whenever and wherever needed. In this he wished to instill upon his children and those whose lives he had touched; to always think of the positives of life, no matter how downtrodden one may be. That, in life, it matters not what has happened, but how one deals with the situation at hand that matters most. In one of his final words to the doctors, nurses, and family members present with him at the University of Washington Medical Center, Dominador says, "You can pick your friends, but you cannot pick your family. Your family is yours. They are with you forever. It is important to be there for each other, and I am blessed to have my family here with me."
