OBITUARY
Michael DeMeo of Ozone Park, N.Y., passed away on December 15, 2023. He was born in Brooklyn on March 25, 1933. He was the older brother of Dorothy (Cookie) and Linda. Michael attended Woodrow Wilson Vocational High School, joined the Navy, and eventually worked for the telephone company. He met his wife, Joan, at the local ski club. He always made sure her telephone was working while they both worked at JFK International Airport. They were married for 60 years and had two sons, Michael and Christopher.
After he retired from the telephone company, Michael worked at St. John’s University, a job he loved. He was the coordinator of family vacations, many taken with his brother-in-law Paul and sister-in-law Pam. He especially loved vacationing in Maine.
In addition to being an avid sudoku player and newspaper reader, Michael was a huge sports fan. He loved the Yankees and Rangers and was a nearly 50-year season ticket-holder of the New York Giants. He avidly supported his three grandchildren, Emily, Katherine, and Christina, attending their plays and various sporting events, as well as his daughter-in-laws Susan and Karen.
