Also his brother Dominic (Josie); and sisters, Suzy and Antoinette (Walter) along with many nieces, nephews, cousins and good friends. Sam was born and raised in Winnipeg. He worked for over 35 years at Pollard Banknote. In his younger years he enjoyed many trips with Joey and his friends on his motorcycle. He retired in 1995 and then resided in Winnipeg Beach till having to reside in the hospital. Sam had many great years with Roly whom he loved very much. He also loved his grandchildren and was very proud of all that they had achieved. Respecting Sam's wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no formal service. We would like to thank the wonderful staff at Gimli Hospital for taking such good care of Sam. You will be greatly missed by each and every one of us and are forever in our hearts.

I worked with Sam for 10 years at Pollard, and he was a wonderful fun loving guy and loved his bike. He was a life loving soul and I know he will be missed by his family. - Posted by: Marion Marko () on: Jul 30, 2016

I was saddened to see Sam's passing on the Free press internet page today. He and I started school together at Riverview in 1942, under the "Iron rule" of Miss Donner. Sam and I could always get in trouble with her and would be turned over her knee and smacked with her cribbage board. We never actually chummed together but we always were friends. About 10 years ago I met a women at a party in Ladysmith B.C. where we lived at the time we discovered that we were ex Riverview students and Miss Donner was our 1st grade teacher she could not remember what year but she did remember that "Sammie" Dacquisto was in her class, she did not remember me. Sam and I were the same age, both born in February 1936 We both worked in the printing industry in Winnipeg but unfortunately we never crossed paths over the past number of years. Mrs. Daquisto please accept and extend my sincerest condolences to Sam's family on the loss of a "good man" Sincerely George Glenday - Posted by: George Glenday (School mate neighbor-hood friend) on: Jul 30, 2016
