Ascanio "Scan" DeCamillo

Ascanio M. DeCamillo "Scan" of Norritown, passed away peacefully on Tuesday February 23, 2021. He was 68 years old. Born November 27, 1952 in Norristown, he was the son of the late Ascanio E. and Sara (nee Calamia) DeCamillo and the beloved husband of Marcia (nee Pietruszka) DeCamillo, and his departed first wife, Gail (nee Shaffer) DeCamillo. Known to many as Scan, or Scanny by family, he was naturally a ray of light with the brightest smile to match. He loved his family with all he had and always had the biggest hug ready for anyone who was willing to take it. His patience and compassion was no match to those tremendous hugs, and many will not forget his kindness and the genuine care he had for his friends and loved ones. Scan attended Bishop Kenrick Catholic High School and later graduated with his undergraduate degree from Drexel University in Mechanical Engineering. He was very passionate about his career and was a mentor to many, both professionally and personally, during his 45+ years with Kingsbury, Inc. Aside from his everyday tasks, he was also an inventor and author on many publications that are still referenced in the industry today. He is highly respected and many will continue to look to his work as a guiding point for further ingenuity in this field. While work was important to him, he made the time to enjoy other hobbies, most notably music. He was involved in a few bands through his lifetime, including the Roamin' Empire and Tom's Cellar Band. He enjoyed getting together with the guys for a jam session and just as equally would relish in a quiet riff on his Spanish guitar to unwind for the evening. Scan's career allowed him the opportunity to explore the world and led to his personal love of traveling. From sipping espresso at an Amsterdam café, to walking the Great Wall of China, to train rides in the French Alps, Scan loved to explore new places. Otherwise you would find him working in the yard, lounging in the pool and spending as much time as possible with his family, especially his grandchildren. He was an incredible man with a witty sense of humor and quick with a joke. He is loved and will be missed by so many. In addition to his wife Marcia, Scan is survived by his two daughters; Rebecca Kinsey (Michael) and Laura DeCamillo, two grandchildren; Michael, Jr., and Taylor, two step-daughters; Dara Nardini (Brian) and Valerie Dashiell (Jeffrey), five step-grandchildren; Nathan, Vincent, Zachary, Juliana, and Jordan, his sister Mary Lee Creciun (Michael) and brother Daniel (Kathleen), many nieces and nephews, and his fur-grandchild Lucy.
