IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Nicodemo M. "Demo"
Scarfo
August 18, 1922 -
February 29, 2008
God looked around His garden
And found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth,
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He saw the road was getting rough,
And the hills were hard to climb.
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered "Peace be thine".
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

Relatives and friends
are respectfully invited. Nicodemo Michele Scarfo was born in Italy in 1922
to Philip and Caterina (Capagreco) Scarfo. He and his wife Immacolata
came to America in 1951 with no more than their dreams and a passion for
doing whatever they could to make sure his family was taken care of.
Known to many as 'Demo', he was a very gifted master craftsman who
created many beautiful things in life; but none more beautiful and
important to him than his family. He was also an accomplished and highly
respected “Caribinieri”; something he was very proud of and something
that clearly shaped his character and perspective on life. Nicodemo
passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by his loving family after
a brief illness. He was 85 years of age. Services will conclude with Nicodemo being laid to
rest in the Woodlawn Cemetery in Elm Street, Everett.
