Marino "Marty" DeMango

Marino “Marty” DeMango, 90, of Shrewsbury, passed away peacefully on Monday, September 14, 2020 at Rose Monahan Hospice Home with his family by his side after a battle with Parkinson’s Disease.

Marino was born on January 18, 1930 in Worcester, MA., a son of the late Giuseppe and Lucrezia (Capoccia) DeMango.  He graduated from Worcester Boys Trade where he studied plumbing and played football.  He later moved to Shrewsbury after marriage and resided there most of his life.

He taught plumbing at Worcester Boys Trade where he touched the lives of many students. Marino was a member of the former Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church and loved all New England Sports Teams.  You could always hear him pulling into the driveway with the radio blaring and Johnny Most in the background.
