Leon Marasco Obituary
April 20, 2024
Leon H. Marasco, Jr. passed away suddenly at his home in Plainfield on April 20, 2024. Leon was born in Danbury, CT to Mildred Chudy and Leon Marasco, Sr. On October 11, 1935. He attended Wooster School, a private boarding school in Danbury and graduated in 1954.
He earned a bachelor's degree in Aeronautical Engineering from Rochester Polytechnic Institute, and worked at Sikorsky Aircraft for 12 years.
After earning his Master's in counseling at the University of Bridgeport, he moved to Vermont in 1970, where he worked in various roles for the State of Vermont.
He was a pioneer in EMS, becoming an EMT and a charter member of the Brandon Area Rescue Squad in 1971.
He married the love of his life, Kate Harper, in 1994. Together they wrote two books: If Only I Could Tell You: Where Past Loves and Current Intimacy Meet, and Heartscapes: True Stories of Remembered Love.
Leon loved life, the natural world, glider flying, hiking, camping, his beautiful land in Corea, Maine and his wife Kate Harper.
He is survived by Kate, as well as by his daughter Nancy Fuller (Dave) from a previous and much less important marriage and his three grandsons, Roger (34), Andrew (18), and Adam, (14).
Leon will be sorely missed.
