Diego Mariano Balcells, born November 12, 1937, passed away on April 28, 2020 at age 82. Diego lived in Damascus, Maryland for most of his life where he was the proprietor of Damascus Shoe Repair and raised his family.

Diego also worked at Tom and Ray's Family Restaurant for many years, and was known by so many in the Damascus community for his cheerful outlook and boundless energy.
