What a shock. We have lost another member of the family, and he will be
missed a lot.

lSubject: Sal DiMarco, Jr.
Sal DiMarco, Jr. died suddenly Friday afternoon at a local
hospital.
Passing along from Rusty Kennedy's conversation Saturday with
Sal's brother, Joe, who is his only surviving relative: Sal felt ill
Saturday morning, called 911 for help, and died about 2 p.m. at a local
hospital.
He had not reported being ill before the event, and his death
is listed as "natural causes."
He had been planning to attend memorial services Sunday for
fellow photojournalist George Reynolds.
