PLUTINO, Marco John

(June 25,1966 - August 24, 2006). On Angels wings, Marco John Plutino, ascended into Heaven to be restored in the presence of God. Victorious in life and triumphant over death, our son is returned into the waiting arms of the Father. Marco succumbed to Lou Gherig's Disease (ALS) at age 40. The disease took his body but it never touched his spirit, his heart and his love for life. Marco always had a smile for his beloved family and friends and we always felt his love for us. He led every day with anticipation, hope and tremendous courage and in turn gave us the courage to face each day.

He will be sadly missed by his adoring mother, Dora, and his loving father, Nick; his brother, Joseph (Monica); his sisters, Rosanna, Lucia (Brad) and Luisa (Robert); his nephews and nieces, Nicholas, Isabella, Quintin, Alec, MacKenzie, Michaela, Matthew and David; his aunts and uncles, Arduino Mancinelli (Remy), Melina DeMarco (Tony-deceased), Rocco Plutino- deceased (Helen), Nancy Greco (Archie, deceased), Lina Fiorito (Mike), Joanne Bueti (Frank), Brigida Plutino; his many beloved cousins and friends.

Family and friends may pay their respects at McGUINTY FUNERAL HOME, this evening from 7 to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. Funeral mass will be celebrated at Pro- Cathedral of the Assumption, Monday at 2 p.m. followed by entombment at All Saints Mausoleum. As expressions of sympathy, donations to ALS Research would be gratefully appreciated by the family. signguestbook/condolences/donations www.mcguintyfuneralhome.com
