Benevento, Molise, Italy | | Date: 1947 | Notes: Gerardo Pareela lost his father when he was only 18 months old; following tradition his older brother became the head of the family. Before he even finished elementary school Gerardo Pareela was taken out of school and sent to work with his brother in a butcher shop. In 1950 the Canadian government encouraged Italians willing to work in the agricultural industry to apply for entry. Gerardo Pareela did so. When he arrived in Halifax he was sent to work in a "fattorie agricole" in Montreal. He found working in the agricultural sector very unsatisfying and often thought of quitting. After a few months, with only a hundred dollars in his pocket, he and his cousin made for British Columbia. There, he got a job with a railway company. After five years of hard work ("tanto duri e molto sudati") he returned to his hometown and there fell in love with "una bella e brava ragazza di nome Filomena Pisano." The two married in 1957. The couple decided to settle in Montreal where they raised two children.
The photo and short biography of Gerardo Pareela were first published in Centro Dante's "Album di Famiglia, 1966." Permission to use the material was given by Santa Cabrini Hospital's administration.
