Happy birthday, Joe Domico! Joe Domico of Monongah, the last of 12 siblings of Quintiliano and Elizabeth Fazio Domico, had a birthday Jan. 31.

Joe Domico and son Martina Luca is his niece. Irene Fazio Preolitti and Phil Colanero are his cousins. Heck, nearly everyone in Monongah has ties to the Domico and Fazio families. I sure do.  My Aunt Frances Olesky Fazio, sister of my dad John W. Olesky, Sr., was married to Renzy Fazio. They ran Fazio Grocery on Jackson Street in Monongah. If your birthday isn’t listed, email John Olesky at jo4wvu@neo.rr.com and I’ll add it to the list. Give me your full name, including maiden name, your birth date and the year you graduated from Monongah High.
