Born & raised in East Boston, he was an alumnus of East Boston High School, Class of 1950. He lived in East Boston until he married in 1954, settling in Chelsea until moving to Wakefield in 2002. He would enter the U.S. Navy in July of 1952 & served until July of 1956 as a Seaman. He was most proud of his service to his country & as a young man was unable to serve during World War II and those post years. For over fifty years, he worked for the former Hy-Sil Manufacturing Co. of Revere, ending his career as their supervisor of printing. Dedicated and trustworthy, he, like so many local residents, enjoyed the family-like atmosphere that Hy-Sil provided. Both he and his wife Alida G. (Campatelli) Marino of 64 years, gave of themselves entirely for the life, education and care of their only son, John Augustus Marino, who came to them as a not-well child, afflicted with Cystic Fibrosis. The couple continued, until the passing of their son in December of 2005, to the commitment they had made for John’s safety and care.
Mr. Marino is the grandfather to Nicholas John Marino & his companion, Esther Cho of Wakefield & Julia Feeney of Sudbury. He is also lovingly survived by his daughter in-law, Regina M. (Mazzetti) Marino of Sudbury and several nieces & nephews. He was also the beloved brother of the late Mary V. Marino & James Marino.
