Ray DeMarco, 86, passed away at home on June 24, 2020. Ray was born  January 13, 1934 in Chelsea, Mass. For many years Ray owned and operated a successful label and silk screening company in Nashua, NH. He and his wife Rosemary, moved from New Hampshire to Riverview in 2004. Ray was an avid Red Sox and NE Patriot fan. He enjoyed playing golf and watching the professional golf. He loved travelling, especially to his favorite island of Aruba. Ray was a member of St. Stephen Parish, Riverview. Over the years he was active in   several parish ministries, among them the Men's Club. He was dubbed the "Shrimp King" for his talent to deep fry shrimp to perfection at the annual Lenten fish fry. He also served as an usher at 9:30 Mass. But the ministry near and dear to his heart was the Greater Brandon Meals on Wheels Program. St. Stephen is one of several churches in the community who prepare meals daily to homebound seniors.
