Paul and family.
while living in Windsor your father was our family doctor as he was for many of my relatives. a visit to his Wyandotte Street office was always serious business but even as a child I knew that he would always fix the ailment. so for me he was always a special individual, an important individual, a highly respected individual who's instructions would be followed to the letter. whatever the sickness, your father had the solution.
looking back it is easy to see he loved his profession, he cared deeply for his patients and he made all our lives better. his knowledge and experience protected us as children and well into adulthood. his skill allowed us to become who we are today. in essence, like all great men and women, he help build a community that stretches far beyond the borders of Windsor.
he will always be remembered for all his contributions to the lives of his many many patients. he will be missed, but his indelible mark on all of us will remain and for this I am personally forever grateful.
my condolences to you and your entire family

Dear DeMarcos,
Your sad news brought back many memories, growing up on Devonshire. You know how much my parents Chuck and Ann loved and admired your parents. I'm sure they'd want to say what a fine legacy they left in all of you, and a tip of the hat to all the grandchildren and first of the great grandchildren. You may not remember how kind your mom was to me helping me practice French when I was at Walkerville. Your dad approved, and always made me feel that he was glad to see me. Godspeed to him, and all best wishes to you and yours.

Dear Mary Jeanne and the DeMarco Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all on your loss. Having had the pleasure and honour of meeting your father, it was easy to see that he was truly a man of great integrity, a loving person, so kind, considerate and passionate about his family and friends.
They say it's not what you gather, but rather what you scatter that will tell what kind of life you have lived. Your father left an indelible mark on his family, friends, and the service he rendered so selflessly to his community as testimony to his legacy that shall never fade.
He fought the good fight, ran his race, and kept his faith.
While we mourn, we shall also rejoice for he has now been has now been given a place at the great banquet table with his heavenly Father to rest in a place of light, a place of refreshment, in a place of repose, where there is no sickness, sighing nor sorrow, but life ever lasting to be with all the saints that have gone before him.
We pray that the Good Lord comfort you all and surround you with His love during this time of great loss and mourning.
Fred, Freddy, & Laurisa Kushnir

Dr.Frank is a man I have known my entire life - always a gentleman with a ready hand shake to prove his surgical skills were still there in his aging hands - and always interested in days gone by when I had to run to Demarcos on Mercer Street to get my father's Marca Gallo cigars.His legacy lives on his family and friends. Bravo Frank

I am so sorry I can't be there in your time of sorrow but I am extending my deepest sympathies to the entire family. Like others, I will always remember Uncle Frank as a trusted and professional physician and surgeon to all of his patients. As his neice, I saw in him the true meaning of "family". He genuinely personified what it meant to be a husband and father.

Dr. Demarco brought me into the world 60years ago.He was part of the reason I became a nurse. When he saw me at the hospital in passing, he would call me 'one of his little ones.' He saved my little brothers' life many years ago. He was a special man. My condolences, Linda Reaume (nee Sovran)

To the DeMarco family - keeping you close in comforting thoughts, although we are miles away. Alzheimers /Dementia is indeed the long goodbye. However, when the end comes it is still a profound loss. Dr. Frank Guy DeMarco leaves such a legacy, in medicine, in the community, and of course in his family . Children of Dr. Frank Sr. and Jeanette take comfort now in the love of your parents and each other, and know that you are supported by the love and caring of many, many relatives and friends. Special condolences to Dr. Frank S. DeMarco and his family. All best blessings, Sherry and Mike Thomson
