Legacy

Carmine was a proud Spartan Football Player who graduated from Deptford High School (Class of 1979).  His favorite time of the year was Christmas.  He took pride in the decorations he put up and the many memorable ornaments that hung from his tree.  In the fall, he enjoyed going to Lancaster to see the color of the leaves changing and eat at the smorgasbord.  Some of his favorite things to do close to home was visiting Riverwinds to watch the planes land, going to the shooting range, and cook Italian meals.  Carmine enjoyed sports and was an avid Eagles and Phillies fan.  His favorite place to visit was Disney world.  His biggest legacy of all is being a father, which he cherished more than anything in the world.
