JOSEPH C. DeMARCHI

Joseph Carlo DeMarchi, 75, passed away on June 21, 2023, in the presence of his family. Joe was born on February 4, 1948 to the late Carlo and Jane (Baracco) DeMarchi. He graduated from Solvay High School in 1965. During the Vietnam War era, he enlisted in the U.S. Naval Reserves and served at the US Naval Station at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and aboard the U.S.S. Intrepid. During this time, he became friends with a very special group of navy buddies, who to this day remain in contact with each other. After his honorable discharge, he earned an associate’s degree from Cayuga (formerly Auburn) Community College. On June 27, 1970, Joe married the love of his life, the former Anne Bome, at St. Cecilia’s Church in Solvay. They brought two beautiful daughters into the world creating a very loving family. He worked at the American Heart Association and later as a Human Resources Manager for The Scotsman Press until his retirement in 2010. Joe was a lifelong communicant of St. Cecilia’s Church and member of the Geddes Seniors. He spent a number of winters in Myrtle Beach with his wife and sister-in-law, Barbara. He enjoyed making homemade pasta, watching Jeopardy and playing pinochle with special friends. Additionally he was a huge fan of musical theater and watching Syracuse University sports. While he reveled in spending time with his family and friends, his greatest joy was being with his four grandchildren, who adored their Papa. Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his sister-in-law, Victoria (Miller) DeMarchi, and brother-in-law, Thomas Beagle. He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Anne, and their two daughters, Melissa (Jared) Paventi and Amy (Stephen) Hryb; siblings, William (Linda) and David; four grandchildren, Layla Anne and Ella Rose Paventi, and Samantha Jane and Joseph Thomas Hryb; sister-in-law, Barbara Beagle; and several nieces, nephews and cousins. His life was enriched by an extended web of friends and their children, who were as close as family and will miss their uncle Joe. Special thanks to the nurses, aides, and staff at St. Camillus for their compassion and care during his final days. Family and friends may call from 4:00 to 7:00 PM Monday June 26, 2023 at BAGOZZI TWINS FUNERAL HOME, 2601 Milton Ave, Solvay.
