Family of Joseph DeMarco,
John and I wish to express our sincere condolences to you at this moment in time. You do not know us and i have only recently been able to connect my father to the 17th Airborne unit that fought at the Battle of the Bulge. Please know that we appreciate all that your father stood for and for the principles upon which he stood.

Those we love really never leave us. We are thinking of you in your time of sorrow knowing that only God can give you the peace that passes all understanding.

I was saddened to hear of the passing of trooper DeMarco. My father. Rev. Ralph Epps, served in the 17th Airborne-194th GIR, HQ Co. He passed away 3 Jan. 2008. I'm certain the two of them are together now sharing stories. Grief is the price we pay for love; and I pray that your family will find peace and strength in the good memories as you grieve together. I honor Mr. Joseph DeMarco for his service to his family and his country. Sincerely, Isaac Epps
