BELCAMINO- Mr. Biagio Belcamino, age 77 years, passed away peacefully with loving family at his side in the T.B.R.H.S.C. on Saturday, August 11, 2018. Biagio was born in Serra San Bruno, Italy on August 1, 1941. He came to Port Arthur as a 16 year old and shortly after his arrival met Teresa Ariganello. The two fell in love, were married and together raised 4 children. When he first came to Port Arthur he worked in the bush camps, as a heavy equipment operator later in carpentry where he helped erect some of the most prominent buildings in Thunder Bay and finally as a Bobcat machine operator at Provincial Papers from where he retired. Biagio possessed a very strong thirst for knowledge and was always wanting to learn more. Whether it was learning about Ancient History, learning a new language, creating tasty cuisine and doing trigonometry exercises, Biagio was always striving to expand his knowledge. Biagio considered his greatest gift in life to be his family, especially his grandchildren, and he loved them with all of his heart. He will be lovingly remembered and dearly missed by his wife Teresa, children Bruno (Karen), Michael (Gisella), Rino (Linda) and Suzanne Belcamino; grandchildren: Marissa, Kaylee, Alexander, Lucas, Marco and Tia Belcamino, brother Rafaele, Uncle and Aunt Giovanni and Giuseppina Carchidi, Aunt Caterina Carchidi as well as by numerous nieces, nephews and other relatives.
