Picinic

Dominick (Dinko) Picinic July 17, 1929 -November 17, 2022 Dominick Picinic was born on July 17, 1929 on the island of Sansago (Istria) to Nicolo and Dominica (neé Tarabocchia.) As a child he enjoyed swimming and fishing with his siblings Nicolo, Dominica, and Maria, in the waters surrounding the beautiful island. After grade school, Dominick worked as a farmer and fisherman and briefly served in the Yugoslavian Army.

Dominick married Elena in 1953. They moved their family to America in 1962 in pursuit of a better life for their sons. Following an extended stay in a refugee camp in Italy, their family settled in Hoboken New Jersey. Dominick worked for 35 years as a longshoreman at Global Terminals in Bayonne New Jersey. Dominick believed hard work and determination was essential for success and were, for him, a key ingredient in fulfilling his American Dream.

Dominick enjoyed playing cards and the camaraderie of paisans from at the

Saint Nicholas Society of Sansago. Following an afternoon of cards, he rode the bus and walked to church for Saturday evening mass. Dominick was reverent and faithful. His love of God was embodied in his actions as he was a kind and very good man.

Dominick dearly loved his family and they him. In addition to his wife Elena (neé Morin) he leaves behind two sons: Nick (Gina) and Mario; two adoring grandchildren: Anna and Nicole. We will forever remember his beautiful smile which reflected a heart filled with love.
