-Evelyne deMarco is among the living-

Antoine deMarco,

the great and terrible classroom nuisance,

sat in the last row, the chair of his desk leaning
against the wall on timid rear legs

challenging the laws of gravitation
as well as the laws of physics and yet
he placed far below the fundamental
grading requirements in both math and science.

the obituary was written in the terse manner

with which it should have been read:

"Antoine deMarco was an employee

of “Troy Refrigeration and Heating Co”.

He leaves behind his mother, his wife, Teresa,..

says here, he was a "faithful congregant

of Saint Anthony of Padua Church"

which I find to be a hard sell, but in all, 
the obit was a fundamentally believable read.

also listed as a survivor, one younger sister,

Evelyne deMarco Mello of Brewster, Massachusetts.

(Evelyne is remembered here as shyly following Antoine

through the school system, 2 grades behind, studious

and reserved, and it does my heart good to know that she is living.)
