Featured Obituary:

Joseph Ugo Damico, 93, passed away October 15 in Evanston, Illinois after a swift, natural decline, in the presence of his family. He grew up the son of a Sicilian immigrant shoemaker and his wife in Poughkeepsie, New York.
Joe was a decorated WWII infantry soldier in Patton’s 3rd Army, 76th Division. He was 19 when we entered the war as a foot soldier and participated in the Battle of the Bulge. He was a prisoner of war and subsequently participated in the liberation of the death camps, yet rarely spoke of it except with reverence for those who did not survive. His
work career was in service to the U.S. Government, ultimately as Director of the Bureau of Executive Manpower for the U.S. Civil Service Commission. Joe was kind with a sharp wit, humble, self-effacing and a full-fledged member of the Greatest Generation.
