PAUL DeMARCO Obituary

Died March 21, 2019 - The first day of spring is a fine day to begin a new life!

He is survived by chosen family, Marie and Bernie Klein, Willie Yenney and family, James Vakas and family. We are grateful for Velma Lewis, his devoted caregiver, who brought Paul joy and kindness so reliably for the last two years. Relatives and friends may call at Collins Funeral Home, 500 University Boulevard West, Silver Spring, MD, (Valet Parking), on Sunday, March 31, from 2 to 4 p.m. Interment at a later date at Arlington National Cemetery.www.COLLINSFUNERALHOME.com

I loved working with Paul at Mitchell & Best. He was a sweet man. For some reason he thought I needed hard boiled eggs, so he would bring them for me for lunch and teach me the proper way to make them! Paul was passionate and conscientious about his job and he liked to laugh. I think he bought his BMW to impress the ladies! It was a blessing to know Paul. Oh, and he also taught me that when you take a photo, you can only hold the pose for 3 seconds. He learned that as a photographer for Sears.

Paul and I spent our entire active military career with the 252nd Engr. Combat Bn. I kept in touch with him until he disappeared from the assisted living facility where he had lived for many years. I was unable to locate him until I saw this obituary in the Post paper today. Walter Harrison,703-589-6557,[email protected]
