Marko Bud "Buddy" DiPaolo was born on February 25th, 1975 and died April 7, 2004. He is survived by his wife Linda and his beautiful daughter Ashley Brown DiPaolo. Buddy also leaves behind his parents Mark and Teresa DiPaolo; brothers Vincent and Domonic; sister Aundrea Gessner; brother-in-law Robert Gessner; grandparents Dorothy Kern, George and Dawn DiPaolo and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and many broken hearted friends. Throughout his childhood and adulthood Buddy gripped everyone he met with his inspiring sense of humor, adventure and disarming, loveable tenderness. He was animated and vibrant. With a laugh he brought cheer to everyone around him. Buddy enjoyed so many parts of life with such enthusiasm he could hardly be contained. From camping, fishing, baseball and all sports, to story telling, comedy and making people laugh. He did it all with enjoyment and passion. Always searching for an artistic or imaginative outlet, Buddy was creative in amazing ways. Anyone who spent time with Buddy feels blessed to have had the opportunity. Buddy could be a brilliant conductor, as he was during awe inspiring 4th of July celebrations and he could be a humble best friend you couldn't live without, as he was countless times for his brothers, sister and family. Friends of Buddy may simple remember Buddy as being too warm and charming to resist. Buddy was an intelligent, honest, hard working man in adulthood but always reminded us to remain children in our hearts. He was loved and will truly be missed.
